Practice as Research - Cath Heinemeyer

To document research based in storytelling practice - research that has been shaped by and continues to shape my storytelling practice - I need to tell stories.  This is a mining exercise: an attempt to hew out the most illustrative episodes from the rockface of two and a half years of work in varied settings.  

• These 'stories of practice' form the core of this portfolio.  
  
• Brief accounts of my work in each setting place them in context.  
• Outputs of my research demonstrate where the work led me.  
• Those blog posts which first crystallised concepts from practice are here too. 
• This portfolio is the companion to my PhD exegesis - contact me for more information or a copy of this document.
  
• You might first want to accompany me through a typical workshop with adolescents.

Here the way forks:
you can first familiarise yourself with my work in each setting, or follow a path through my stories of practice.  Whichever you choose, you won't get lost: there are waymarkings to help you back.
