Artistic Practices
SKH's research area is Artistic Practices. This means that all research is carried out from the starting point of artistic practice in some way or other. The four subject specialisations included in the area are Film and Media, Choreography, Opera and Performing Arts, and we have about fifty artistic research and development projects currently under way.
Artistic Research
Artistic research comprises a broad spectrum of investigative and reflective practices, methods and concepts with artistic roots in architecture, visual art, circus, dance, design, film, fine art, photography, arts and crafts, choreography, creative writing, media, music, opera, performance and performing arts.
Profile areas
The profile areas function as tools for interdisciplinary discussion and development of the Artistic Practices area. The research specialisations have been strengthened and expanded by four thematic profile areas of research: Concept and composition; Art, Technology, Materiality; Bodily and vocal practices; Site, event, encounter.
