Summary
Scholarship in the arts may take several forms depending on the artistic discipline. From theatrical productions, to art exhibits, to dance performances, the culmination of the work of the art form is presented in various ways. One option that crosses all art forms is arts-based research (ABR). The incorporation of ABR can be an important scholarly approach for all art forms. The implementation of ABR with undergraduate students may take several forms, including capstone courses, senior thesis projects, or undergraduate research summer scholars’ programs. The purpose of this chapter is to provide examples and strategies for making arts-based research a viable opportunity for undergraduate students in the arts disciplines. Many of the examples in the chapter are based on my work in dance in the United States, but ABR includes all art forms and all nations.
