This paper takes as a point of departure, Rosalind Krauss' essay 'The Photographic Conditions of Surrealism', in which she describes the relationship between photography's indexical function and its position as the example par excellence of Surrealist artistic practice. In the same way, this paper examines changing attitudes in Thailand towards photography's artistic status and presumed indexicality as paradigmatic examples of a transformation from the modern to the contemporary.

The paper describes a pedagogical model developed at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore for use within the local Arts and Arts Education sector. A need was discovered in Singapore for a holistic pedagogical model that could be used to teach practicing artists who spend considerable time teaching in public and private schools, yet maintain their Arts practice. The model addresses multiple art forms simultaneously through practices that are tailored for a heterogeneous educational setting yet encompasses a unified perspective.

Unlike all other major Anglophone points of comparison (e.g. USA, UK and Australia), Canada is disinterested in the national and global demand for doctoral programmes in Creative Writing. This paucity of PhD creative writing programmes is especially noticeable when Canada has the highest per capita undergraduate enrolment in the world, federal funding available for writing PhDs, and a low OECD ranking for the number of per capita PhDs.

This research looks at the effects of Kalaripayattu and Fitzmaurice Voicework techniques as a training methodology for the contemporary actor, redefining the fundamental principles that already exist within the two forms and placing its emphasis on the articulation of the imagination through their combination. Fitzmaurice Voicework was inspired by yoga, shiatsu, and bioenergetic psychotherapy, and its methods include releasing patterns of habitual holding within the viscera causing an autonomic response known as a tremor.
