What is it about?
It's about how creative-practice methodologies may enable innovative approaches to doctoral research. In this paper four candidates describe how they have moved within or beyond the traditional forms and boundaries of "the dissertation", with the guidance and support of a supervisor. In my section, Playwrites for Paracademics, I share how my research is embedded in and shaped by my past practice as a writer for performance, so that the artefacts of my inquiry become a means of performing the research on the page.

Why is it important?
The creative-practice based Phd is an evolving thing, especially in the area of creative writing. This paper speaks to that evolution, and gives examples of some innovative outcomes in screenwriting, performance writing, and in the essay.
Perspectives
My contribution to this publication introduces 'essayesque dismemoir' as a new form of performable essaying that I have both developed, and named.
