Floating Worlds
On our final Saturday class last month, I showed up with butterflies holding court in my body, and a box holding gifts in my arms. For months, I had been working in anticipation of that day, and what that day embodied for my research—the end of our course

DOING ARTS THINKING: ARTS PRACTICE, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION VOLUME 1 Series Editor: John Baldacchino, University of Dundee, Scotland, UK Editorial Board: Dennis Atkinson, Goldsmiths College, UK Jeremy Diggle, Independent artist and academic, UK Nadine Kalin, University North Texas, USA Catarina Sofia Martins, University of Porto, Portugal Richard Siegesmund, Northern Illinois University, USA Scope: In the arts, the concept of theoria goes back to the original notion of thinking as a form of reflection/contemplation that remains integral to practice as both a practiced thought (phronesis) and as critical practice (praxis). This book series is aimed at capturing and reasserting the wider possibilities that we give ourselves by doing the arts. It explores how the arts and education can only converge through paradox, where what we seek by doing arts thinking remains an open work and in continuous inauguration. Thus Doing Arts Thinking is an alternative view of arts education. Rooted in arts practice and arts research, it purposely retains a degree of ambiguity. It is not l imited to “thinking about the arts”, or engaging with art theory as a separate entity from practice. Rather, this book series intends to show that to mistake arts thinking for abstract theory would be as false as dismissing arts practice for mere making; which would result in a narrow view of both arts practice and arts research, especially when a third element – that of arts education – is involved.

PRAISE FOR UNFOLDING AFTERGLOW
“Brooke Hofsess’ book is a gift. It invites. It welcomes. It gently provokes. Theorists, pedagogues, methodologists and researchers, alike, will find themselves in aesthetic play as they experience the flows, swells, and intensities that Hofsess beautifully crafts. Each embodied letter, image, engagement with theory, introduction of a participating teacher, and parcel is careful and thoughtful, but not presumptuous. Hofsess moves with humility, assuming that you the reader will bring yourself to this invitation in equally thoughtful ways. Her invitation is smart, respectful, and c
