This article focuses on the links between performance and pedagogy in the work of artists and scholars Leslie Hill and Helen Paris, co-directors of London based performance company Curious. Hill and Paris often tie the creation of a live performance to the development of performance-making workshops. This article examines three case studies: 1) the ‘Autobiology’ workshops which explore the generative potential of ‘gut feelings’, developed as part of making the performance ‘the moment I saw you I knew I could love you’; 2) the UpRoot, workshops created alongside the environmental performance Wild Longings; and 3) an online MOOC Paris and Hill taught out of Stanford University called Practice-Based Research in the Arts which 5000 national and international scholar-artists from 30 countries participated in, resulting in a massive online art gallery called Studio West. The article also references Hill and Paris’ new book, Devising Theatre and Performance: Curious Methods (forthcoming, LADA and Intellect, 2021) a practice-based methodology book with generative tools for artists designing interdisciplinary, solo and collaborative projects which can used by solo practitioners, collectives and companies and offers teachers creative exercises for students working on site specific, autobiographical and socially and politically engaged live art works.

奇特的方法——通过表演进行教学

本文重点介绍艺术家和学者 Leslie Hill 和 Helen Paris（伦敦表演公司 Curious 的联合董事）的作品中表演与教学法之间的联系。希尔和巴黎经常将现场表演的创作与表演制作工作室的发展联系起来。本文考察了三个案例研究：1) 探索“直觉”的生成潜力的“自体生物学”研讨会，作为表演“在我看到你的那一刻我就知道我会爱你”的一部分而开发；2) UpRoot，与环境表现 Wild Longings 一起创建的工作坊；3) 斯坦福大学巴黎和希尔在线 MOOC 授课，名为“以实践为基础的艺术研究”，来自 30 个国家的 5000 名国内外学者艺术家参与其中，从而产生了一个名为 Studio West 的大型在线艺术画廊。这篇文章还引用了希尔和帕里斯的新书《设计戏剧和表演：好奇的方法》（即将出版，LADA 和 Intellect，2021 年）一本基于实践的方法论书籍，其中包含供艺术家设计跨学科、独奏和协作项目的生成工具，可供独奏者使用从业者、集体和公司，并为教师提供创造性练习，让学生在特定地点、自传体和社会和政治参与的现场艺术作品中工作。
