healing process outside of the medical field. Featuring research on
topics such as arts-based interventions and the use of writing,

Applied Practice: Evidence and Impact in Theatre, Music and Art
engages with a diversity of contexts, locations and arts forms -
including theatre, music and fine art - and brings together
theoretical, political and practice-based perspectives on the
question of 'evidence' in relation to participatory arts practice
in social contexts. This collection is a unique contribution to the
field, focusing on one of the vital concerns for a growing and
developing set of arts and research practices. It asks us to
consider evidence not only in terms of methodology but also in the
light of the ideological, political and pragmatic implications of
that methodology. In Part One, Matthew Reason and Nick Rowe reflect
on evidence and impact in the participatory arts in relation to
recurring conceptual and methodological motifs. These include
issues of purpose and obliquity; the relationship between evidence
and knowledge; intrinsic and instrumental impacts, and the value of
participatory research. Part Two explores the diversity of
perspectives, contexts and methodologies in examining what it is
possible to know, say and evidence about the often complex and
intimate impact of participatory arts. Part Three brings together
case studies in which practitioners and practice-based researchers
consider the frustrations, opportunities and successes they face in
addressing the challenge to produce evidence for the impact of
their practice.
