AMFI’s Reality School: A circular economy agenda for fashion education
Authors: Hall Nicholas , Velez-Colby Fiona 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The circular economy (CE) agenda is gaining traction within the fashion industry and increasingly within fashion education. It provides a connective, interdisciplinary framework that offers a roadmap for transition towards a sustainable economy. As business eco-systems re-align to meet new standards of ethical and sustainable practice for the fashion industry, a new agenda for fashion education emerges: one of circularity. This article evaluates Amsterdam Fashion Institute’s (AMFI) Reality School concept, examining how CE education is being embedded within it and the levels of integration achieved. It argues that a CE approach to curriculum design can motivate deep learning through experimental practice, deep-dive research and systems thinking. It provides a structural framework of a CE agenda to fashion education curriculum, establishing a novel approach that could be applied to other specialist fashion education institutions.
An object-based research study of archive pieces incorporating digital technology
Authors: Baldwin Susanne 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article presents a case study of a collaborative project between garment technology students and museum costume curators, centred around object-based research. The project brief was to re-produce patterns and toiles of selected archive garments, with a focus on incorporating digital pattern technology, to explore the possibilities of this technology in an exhibition context. In addition to these specified outcomes, a successful knowledge exchange was observed, with the curators advising the provenance and social history of the pieces and the students sharing their expertise in manual and digital pattern cutting and in garment construction. During the project, the personal development of the students transitioned from a position of inexperience relating to archived garments, to one of recognized expertise through their recreation of the pieces in a pattern and construction context.
Breaking the rules in pattern cutting: An interdisciplinary approach to promote creativity in pedagogy
Authors: Almond Kevin , Power Jess 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
The aim of this research is to explore how the discipline of pattern cutting can be taught, investigated and practiced through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity (for instance in this enquiry, pattern cutting is merged with disciplines such as health and engineering). The study discusses how interdiscipinarity can break rules, which involve going against a set of regulations that direct a practice or method within an area of activity. This mutinous concept can make pattern cutting appear more exciting and creative to the student and often leads to them exploring different concepts and approaches. The research was based on secondary sources gathered from a review of research papers presented at The Second International Conference for Creative Pattern Cutting, held at University of Huddersfield, 24 and 25 February 2016. This conference was purposively selected due to its discipline relevance and international representation and was unique to the authors because they organized and chaired the event. To date, this has been the sole global platform to disseminate research in pattern cutting and the approach is described as a methodology of conference organization, using content analysis and interviews with the individual authors of selected papers. It focuses on works that considered new ways to pattern cut by effectively implementing interdisciplinary activity into its practice. The findings discuss how the disorderly methods impacted on the student’s experiences. Ultimately this supports the development of original, novel and innovative pedagogical approaches to pattern cutting practice and has the potential to enrich the fashion industry, encouraging pattern cutters to develop essential skills to cross discipline boundaries.
Virtual reality interactive teaching for Chinese traditional Tibetan clothing
Authors: Chen Guo , Ma Fenfen , Jiang Yan , Liu Ruipu 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Chinese history represents a traditional costume culture that provides a rich source of inspiration for fashion students. This article references typical Tibetan clothing as an example of Chinese traditional costume and proposes a virtual reality interactive teaching mode for use in fashion design education. This mode enables fashion students to understand in greater depth the structural features of traditional costumes through virtual garments and also provides self-learning platforms and opportunities for other non-fashion students. Virtual reality interactive teaching can fully demonstrate the characteristics of traditional Chinese clothing, increasing access to garment knowledge that is not readily available outside museum collections. These processes include using two-dimensional (2D) clothing CAD software to display the traditional clothing structure, using virtual reality technology for making three-dimensional (3D) clothing models and using the Unity 3D game development platform for interactivity. This virtual reality interactive teaching approach expands upon traditional teaching methods for fashion design and the study of traditional costume for design development. This article presents this virtual method for fashion education to enable increased access to traditional costume knowledge.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Design practice in the craft sector of India has witnessed a paradigm shift in the last decade. There have been an increasing number of attempts to include the rural craftsperson in the creative process. Various design schools, scholars, individuals, organizations and government agencies have integrated the design process amongst the grassroots by working closely with the makers of hand-crafted products.
Hack the black box: Consumer agency in the sharing economy
Authors: Mohajer va Pesaran Daphne 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Fashion design pedagogy in higher education needs to engage with emergent consumer-led consumption schemes that are problematizing the roles of producer and consumer. Traditional fashion design pedagogy does not explicitly teach students to reveal the systems of fashion production to consumers, thus distancing them from the materials and processes that animate consumer products. Consumers are at a disadvantage as they have little agency over or knowledge of how garments are produced in the global top-down fashion system – a system that could be characterized as a black box. In response to this, consumers and designers have been employing concepts from hacker culture and the sharing economy in order to participate in novel consumption schemes that focus on underlying values of openness, transparency and collaboration. This article reviews a number of these schemes, using secondary sources, and proposes that their underlying values be introduced into sustainable fashion curriculums.
Balancing the books: Creating a model of responsible fashion business education
Authors: Radclyffe-Thomas Natascha , Varley Rosemary , Roncha Ana 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This research article provides an account of a series of curriculum interventions at undergraduate and postgraduate level which engage fashion business students with real world practical and ethical complexities faced by twenty-first-century fashion businesses. Fashion education has predominantly nurtured creativity in design and promotion whilst focusing on identifying efficiencies for business operations, but increasingly the negative environmental and social impact of the global fashion industry requires a new focus on how fashion business can promote ethical and sustainable practices. The authors explore how research into sustainable fashion can be integrated into the business curriculum to guide students as they develop their personal positions on engagement with the serious issues the fashion industry faces today and tomorrow. The authors applied their research into sustainable fashion with contemporary sustainability pedagogies to design teaching delivered through case studies, lectures, seminars and assessment tasks designed to engage students with a 360-degree understanding of sustainability and to promote students’ development of creative solutions to our industry’s challenges. The authors sought to develop a range of teaching resources and learning sessions in line with the United Nation’s Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and in doing so used the lens of sustainability to explore every aspect of the fashion industry: production, design and promotion. Through the examples explored in this article, our exploratory research aims to understand how to design and implement a model of responsible fashion business education that responds to social and environmental needs and resonates with new generations of students who demonstrate an increased interest in concepts of shared social, environmental and economic value.
Performing arts activism for addressing climate change: Conceptualizing an intercultural choreographic practice and dance performance called Melting Ice
Authors: Burnard Pamela , Cook Peter J. , Jasilek Susanne , Bauer-Nilsen Birgitte 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
In this article we argue that the power and politics of the arts is a way of raising awareness and responding to the globally shared problem of climate change. We illustrate how climate change is integral to a choreographic practice that inheres in: the performing body, which moves while it thinks, feels while it imagines and senses as it understands; and the intercultural dance performance Melting Ice. At the core of this article is a view of epistemology that is embodied, artistic, practical, reflectively dynamic and adaptive to the conditions in which knowledge is created, such as our journeying into Melting Ice. This choreographic practice and performance explores the radical harmony or solubility of the body in all that we do not call the body. The impact of this practice manifested itself primarily when looking back at how the dancers were learning, becoming and being icebergs, and in the act of labelling the choreographic practice of dance-making, the process gives rise to activism.
Home imagined: Uncovering a sensuous history of people and place through eco-somatic improvisation
Authors: East Ali 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article sets out to describe an eco-somatic improvisational danced encounter with the ruins of a 150-year-old migrant dwelling in Aotearoa New Zealand. Interwoven into the description of the project are ‘author’s notes’ as she makes links with the crisis of homelessness and displacement of refugees driven from their homes by war and famine. She asks what it means to reside, dwell or take up residence in a new place; how we might perform our belonging or our alienation; what it might mean to relocate, rebuild a sense of home and what remains of this sensory world amongst the ruins that might be uncovered through improvised dance. Finally, she suggests the ways in which intuitive danced engagement with particular space/place might reveal sensuous narratives of the past, supporting current practices of site-based intuitive somatic improvisation as valid academic practice-based research methodology. The research brings together the voices of writers from performance theory; somatics; phenomenology; social geography; architecture, archaeology and visual media; and those of the author as participant observer and the dancers as inquiring artists.
Go to the woods: Choreographic scores for performing in nature
Authors: Soto Merián 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Part narrative, part documentation, and part choreographic score, this article emphasizes the empathic imperative of spending time over time in nature. Choreographer Merián Soto shares her early experiences with Branch Dancing, a form that ‘came’ to her while approaching stillness, balance, and invisibility in the Wissahickon woods in Philadelphia, and branch dancing’s first major work, the One Year Wissahickon Park Project, consisting of 16 seasonal performances in nature in 2007–08.
Embodied ecology: The eco-somatics of permaculture
Authors: Nelson Matthew 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Embodied ecology is a functional philosophy, a model for how we participate in the choreography of our own experience. Applying ethics and principles to the material nature of the human endeavour, embodied ecology utilizes scientific information and methodology in distinctly subjective, artful ways. In this article I explore the confluence of themes emerging from the practical discipline of permaculture as described by David Holmgren and my own practice of somatics. This didactic scholarship is guided by a unifying ecological world-view: we are living systems.
Site-specific performance and the art of not leaving
Authors: Kenney Denise , Holmes Nancy 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Endings are a perennial challenge when creating any temporal art form. This article is a reflection of the nature of this problem in the context of site-specific work. We are using this term according to Mike Pearson’s definition as cited by Wilkie: a performance ‘conceived for, mounted within and conditioned by the particulars of its site and the people it finds there’, but in our case the focus is on environmentally responsive site-specific work, work that is generated with and for a site’s ecological and historical and cultural systems and patterns. We propose that the problem of the ending, in such a context, is linked to problems of place-attachment, and ironically, for us, our reflections were generated in a site far away from our own place.
Dancing with hyperobjects: Ecological Body Weather choreographies from Height of Sky to Into the Quarry
Authors: Candelario Rosemary 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Timothy Morton claims that hyperobjects – things ‘massively distributed in time and space relative to humans’ such as global warming, the total sum of all the nuclear materials on earth, a weather system – have completely altered how we think and experience, forcing us into confronting the fact that we must relate to them as fellow objects. In this article I argue that Body Weather-based dance practices, developed by Japanese dancer Min Tanaka on his Hakushu farm in Japan between 1985 and 2010, attempt to form corporeal and kinaesthetic relationships with hyperobjects through training dancers to sensitize their bodies to their existence as part of what Morton calls the mesh. I discuss two Body Weather-related projects: Morleigh Steinberg’s 2004 film Height of Sky about Oguri’s two-year danced investigation of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts of Southern California, and my own work in North Texas, Into the Quarry. This work, I suggest, provides a model for how to develop a radically different relationship with our environment, one based on the mutual interconnection of interobjectivity.
Unearthing movement, urban ritual and environmental urgency: A performance album from Jill Sigman’s Weed Heart
Authors: Adewunmi Chelsea , Sigman Jill 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
During the summer and fall of 2016, artist Jill Sigman and dramaturg Chelsea Adewunmi engaged in a creative and dialectic process as part of the project Weed Heart. Weed Heart was a multi-faceted work that dealt with questions around what we can learn from weeds, the plants we marginalize, and how those plants are related to the histories and power dynamics of human populations and the human destruction of the planet. Their work involved conversations around the resonances between weeds and humans, studio work in which Adewunmi gave Sigman feedback on movement improvisations and choreographic structure, and analysis of an ongoing video blog that wove Sigman’s personal story together with plant histories as part of the performance. The performance album that follows contains textual and visual artifacts from this process: Adewunmi’s reflections on Weed Heart, Sigman’s thoughts about her goals for the project, as well as photos from the performances. The reader is invited to approach this album in a nonlinear way in keeping with the rhizomic nature of the process and performance.
On the way to regenerative choreography
Authors: Reeve Sandra 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This paper or ‘pattern of thought’ seeks to clarify the relationship between a somatic practice that has evolved from studying movement and the process of change in nature, complexity thinking and models of sustainable performance. In this search for sustainability, choreographic practice is taken as a term applicable to daily life as well as to artistic performance and the article goes one step further to enquire how somatics and radical citizenship can come together through engaging with notions of regenerative performance.
Ancestral bodies dancing snow
Authors: Bellerose Christine 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article with artist pages is a self-reflection on danced engagements with land and lineage. In performing with elemental nature and at historical sites, I met my own broken memories of colonized land and severed ties to ancestral lands. These pages feature images of two performance series taking place in and near Montréal city, a cosmopolitan hub of the French province of Québec, Canada. Wise words from storytellers, artists and scholars in the field of Indigenous knowledge (Sto:lo and Anishinaabe nations) guide my textual narrative, and issues of ethical ethnography compel its performative embodied inquiry.
Dancing in wild places: Seaweed and ocean health
Authors: Olsen Andrea 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
This article explores seaweed from biological, historical and aesthetic perspectives through performance. Dancing in wild places: Seaweed and ocean health is a 40-minute project based on travels and dancing at seven seaweed sites internationally including California, France, Ireland, Iceland, Nova Scotia, Florida and the Florida Keys. Discussion about the challenges and opportunities of linking artmaking and environmental projects is interwoven. A multi-layered format combines informational narratives with performance texts, video links and visual images, amplifying the interconnectedness of ecosystems and including humans as part of nature. The process engages the ecotone between knowing and not knowing, a place of heightened possibility. Amidst current environmental challenges, seaweed reminds us that every discipline has a role to play in the restoration of ocean health. Dance helps us feel; as we feel we care – becoming caretakers of Earth, caretakers of body. Movement is primary in knowing ourselves and the world. Our bodies remember.
Evaluating the Tennessee Higher Education Commission's Report Card on the value-added estimates of teacher preparation programs
Authors: Gulosino Charisse 
Published: March 2018

Evaluations of teacher preparation programs (TPPs) based in part on the performance of program completers have emerged as an education reform strategy in several states and have become central features of the Race to the Top (RTTT) grant competition. The objective of this policy review is to examine how the state of Tennessee measured and reported the extent to which teacher preparation programs (TPPs) explain the variation of the test score gains for public school students taught by program graduates. This review breaks down the findings by institution and certification pathway, comparing statistically significant outcomes at the state level produced by teachers from each TPP. An analysis of Tennessee's report card reveals considerable variation in the value-added estimates of beginning teachers, depending on the institution where they were trained. These results, however, should be interpreted with caution. This review offers several technical considerations associated with the interpretation of Tennessee's report card on the effectiveness of TPPs and explains how these considerations may affect the interpretation of the findings.
Energy saving technologies for urban bus transport
Authors: Hnatov A. , Arhun Shch. 
Published: March 2018

Reduction of non-renewable sources of energy and the ecological state of metropolises have become the cause of the search for optimal solutions for introduction of energyefficient and environmentally friendly technologies for urban bus transport, which is thepurpose of this work. A review of environmentally friendly buses has shown that electric buses (electrobuses) are the most perspective. However, rapid replacement of all the buses with electrobuses is impossible because of their high cost. A comparative analysis of theoperating costs of different types of buses of the same destination and class has been carried out in order to choose the optimal variant. Thus, one route of 4.23 km in length was chosen in Kharkiv (Ukraine). Experimental and calculated data showed that aminibus converted into an electrobus is the most acceptable means for urban passenger transportation. Ultra-capacitors are suggested as an energy source. The conceptualdiagram of the model of such a bus is presented and the technical requirements for itscomponents are determined. The data and proposals are useful for Ukraine and for countries with low economic development that cannot quickly replace old diesel buseswith new, environmentally friendly, electrobuses. The results of this work are the basisfor further research and development.
Implementation of Performance Accountability System For Government Institution (SAKIP) : Determinants and Consequence In Local Government
Authors: Telabah I Wayan Suardana , Hermanto Hermanto , Handajani Lilik 
Published: March 2018

This study aims to examine the effect of the utilization of information technology, training and obedience to regulation on the implementation of SAKIP and examine the effect of SAKIP implementation on managerial performance as well as the influence of the role of self efficacy and intellect in the relationship between impelementation of SAKIP and managerial performance. Tests were conducted on 93 respondents representing 67 percent of the population. The group of respondents are structural officials of echelon II, III and IV in the scope of West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government who have role in the planning, implementation and management of Regional Income Budget and Expenditure (APBD) through the implementation of SAKIP. The hypothesis testing used Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The result of this research shows that the utilization of information technology and training have significant effect on the implementation of SAKIP but not influenced by obedience to the regulation, the implementation of SAKIP has an effect on managerial performance but self efficacy and intellect can not strengthen the relationship between SAKIP implementation and managerial performance. Based on the findings of this research, the operation of e-SAKIP and training conducted in a structured and sustainable manner plays an important role in improving the quality of SAKIP implementation so as to provide relevant and objective information to managers in order to improve the performance of government organizations.
