The presentation
Laurence Dubé-Rushby’s doctoral research developed DARE (Disruptive, Artistic, Reflexive, Experience), a live art methodology grounded in constructivist (Dewey, 1987; Piaget, 1970; Glasersfeld, 1990) and critical pedagogical theories (Freire, 2001; Giroux, 2017). The study positions artistic disruption as a catalyst for social change and self-construction through reflexive performance practice (Fels, 2007).
