Intensive Weekly blocks of artistic Residencies

The programme is organized in intensive weekly blocks of studio investigations, workshops, lectures and mentoring sessions. The purpose and benefits of the intensive weekly blocks is threefold: (a) to provide the experience of learning and working in conditions similar to artistic residencies, (b) to facilitate a more concentrated and focused learning environment, and (c) to facilitate participation in the program of those artists and practitioners who cannot physically attend lecturers and seminars on a weekly basis due to their work and life outside Lincoln.
Research has shown that professionals in the field prefer delivery in intensive blocks, rather than on a weekly basis because it allows them to live and work outside Lincoln/UK and to commute to Lincoln only for a small amount of time. This mode attracts more mature and also international/EU students allowing a cross-cultural learning amongst the students. The blocks are allocated during periods when professional practitioners encounter usually a less heavy workload (summer time), giving them the opportunity to ask easier time off work and allowing them to concentrate fully to our course.
