Abstract

With our chapter, we challenge views of teaching and learning as transactional, that is, as the transmission of knowledge, with Arts-based inquiry. Through application of the Arts-based inquiry framework, we designed studio-based workshops that proved an impactful method for generating new ideas, approaches, and actions that enhance reflective practice. Within our chapter, we explain how creative dispositions, embodied in various modes of expressions, require a space of playful relaxation (spirit of play). This is where the imagination is an important component of heightened self-awareness, demanding both reflection and praxis. It is our hope that with this work we evidence how re-thinking and questioning values and beliefs helps deepen our understanding of the relational, interdependent nature of our being and becoming, in the world.
