Description | This portfolio of 17 PhD CASE studentships, 2 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, 22 business vouchers, and 6 student placements focused on the creative industries in Scotland, engaging with sole traders and SMEs across the sector as well as with public and charitable bodies and local authorities. Three major impacts for policy and research are highlighted: Developing new methodology: PhD student Orian Brook considered arts attendance at major venues in London and Scotland. Using spatial modelling and confidential audience datasets, Orian explored the importance of distances from venues and commuting patterns as well as neighbourhoods' socio-economic and demographic characteristics to account for audience attendance. Previous statistical modelling failed to account for the location of venues and significantly overestimated attendance in areas with poor access to venues, and underestimated in areas close to venues. She developed a negative binomial spatial interaction model of flows between residential neighbourhoods and arts venues in Scotland, showing a strong effect of distance from a venue. The research affirms that without considering distance from a venue as an important factor in participation, policymakers fail to acknowledge their own role as suppliers of cultural services. Identifying an under-researched area: Ben Fletcher-Watson surveyed the production of performing arts for very young audiences (birth to age 3) in Scotland. Encompassing theory of the performing arts, developmental psychology and pedagogy, the rights of children and citizen participation, the thesis explores the legitimacy of Theatre for Early Years (TEY). Using in-depth interviews with TEY professionals, he challenges traditional conceptions of theatre as an effort to entertain, train spectators in 'theatre-literacy', provide societal benefits, act as 'babysitter', or to engage; he argues TEY is an art form in its own right. Ben's work led to an industry placement in 2013 to help develop a digital app for the very young. Developing a theoretical framework for understanding the creative industries: The framework of intellectual, social, cultural, and economic capitals, informed by the work of Bourdieu, was used to integrate all the projects, with an analysis of interlinked capitals seen as a means of transcending analysis that presents the classic creative vs commercial tension within creative industries. Cultural and creative organizations deal with all forms of capital simultaneously to survive and flourish: intellectual capital as the "journey" from viable ideas to intellectual property; social capital, the relationships and networks that might be called upon; cultural capital, the knowledge and/or practice of creative activity; and economic capital the resources to sustain this. How the creative industries operate and exchange these different capitals shows the complexity of the economy in which they operate. (see B. Townley (ed.)Capitalising on Creativity, University of St Andrews (www.capitalising oncreativity.ac.uk)) |
Exploitation Route | Findings which emerge from the PhD studentships are expected to be published in the academic forms of journal articles, book chapters and books, some of which are listed below. The findings of Design based PhDs are being fed back to the V&A Museum of Design Dundee as part of its planning and programming for opening in 2018. In terms of non-academic activity, the research programme delivered 22 business voucher projects, involving concentrated academic focus on operational issues identified by the commissioning enterprises; many findings have subsequently been taken forward by these organizations; a series of dissemination events for practitioners and policymakers in the sector (Strategies For Success, 23 May 2013, and Up Your IP (3workshops for theatre, design and games industries held in 2014)) regarding Intellectual Property management; and Create in Fife: Searching for Solutions, 22 October 2013, a showcase of findings from the CBC's Business Voucher and Knowledge Transfer projects). The audience responses to the IP events indicated that while the targeted sectors initially lacked deep understanding of IP, participants grasped the importance of improving their understanding of the area and will be investigating related issues further. The research programme also maintained a public-facing website with news items and blogs which helped to raise awareness of the creative industries generally and of the research programme specifically. Members of the consortium are continuing to work together on other joint research projects. |

Description | An underlying goal of the research programme was to improve the organisational and human capacity of the creative industries to sustain a vibrant future, each project was devised in relation to and often embedded within the operational environment of specific organisations within Scotland's creative industries. Therefore many of the findings of the projects are integrated within the sector as they emerge. Four examples are cited here: A Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Scottish Screen (later Creative Scotland) considered the management and exploitation of digital technology in the film industry. The KTP Associate, Michael Franklin, conducted research which directly benefitted over 20 companies and Creative Scotland. The impacts on film companies include improved marketing and distribution campaigns, access to innovative digital technology, diversified revenue opportunities, developed skillsets and attraction of increased investment. Creative Scotland has benefitted from redeveloped and increased industry funding programmes, improved capture and use of industry data, and enhanced staff skills. Overall the KTP impacted the ability of Scotland's film industry to capitalise on its intellectual property (films and related creative content) and compete in national and international markets. Orian Brook's PhD research informed an evidence review by Arts Council England (2014), The Value of Arts and Culture to People and Society, which cited her work; Orian also has been working to incorporate accessibility indices for cultural venues into new local area estimates commissioned by ACE. In addition, Orian's work is being incorporated into a major new resource for the arts sector being developed by The Audience Agency. Audience Finder is a programme which aims to support cultural organisations in reaching more people, new audiences and greater efficiency by modelling the combined inputs of major cultural participation surveys, box office data, and online interactions. For the first time in the cultural sector the modelling of attendance in local areas will also incorporate the area's access to cultural opportunities, in the form of arts venues, museums and galleries, using analysis developed in Orian's PhD. A research partnership with Red Note Ensemble, which began as a Business Voucher conducted by Dr. Charlotte Gilmore, has stimulated additional investigations and business development, conducted with audience development agency The Audience Business; an AHRC project with RCS; and a KE/Impact study funded by University of Edinburgh. Finally, a CASE student placement at an app development company led to a 300 per cent increase in turnover and major expansion of the business. Ben Fletcher-White's placement provided crucial input to the development of 'White The App' for digital developer Hippotrix, by analysing early-years apps and developing a framework comparing theatre and apps. Ben's work, via the ESRC-funded placement, was instrumental in getting additional funding from Creative Scotland to support the expansion of Hippotrix as a company. As a result Hippotrix increased turnover by 300 per cent for 2013/14, expanded their development team, and collaborated with major new UK partners. Following the launch of White the App, Hippotrix are developing five new apps. The placement enabled Ben Fletcher-Watson to develop a general framework for early-years apps to be used by theatre companies and digital developers. |

Impact | he CBC's first KTP transferred findings and skills to support new film funding streams within Creative Scotland, and enabled film companies to retain more of their IP and profits, rather than these being lost to agents and distributors. Sponsored by Creative Scotland, as was the related PhD thesis, KTP Associate Michael Franklin's work highlighted the need for digitally enabled business model investment and support that would improve the companies' long-term sustainability. His findings informed Creative Scotland's funding decisions, leading in 2011 to a ten-fold increase in its support for film marketing and distribution projects, and to a new category for marketing and distribution projects within its primary film production and exploitation fund. The KTP findings also stimulated the Scottish film industry to launch a new multimillion pound finance company, backed by a £500,000 cash contribution from Creative Scotland. The Mackendrick Film Fund is working with other investors to secure approximately £35million to provide a new means of financing films made by Scots or made in Scotland. During the KTP Michael led training workshops for film companies to improve digital marketing and other skills, such as increasing community engagement. He took a lead on the marketing and distribution segment of Creative Scotland's response to the DCMS review of film policy, extending the impact of his work to UK policy levels. Finally, Michael's analysis of social video-on-demand with film distribution company Distrify was cited in the 2014 Review of the Film Sector in Scotland, from BOP Consulting. These KTP activities and impacts were presented as part of a case study for the University of St Andrews School of Management submission to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. |

Title | Ben's new research area |
Description | Identifying under-researched areas: early-age theatre Trained in literature and drama direction, Ben Fletcher-Watson undertook a qualitative survey of best practice in performing arts for very young audiences (birth to age 3) in Scotland. Engaging with several strands of literature, including the history of children's involvement in the performing arts, contemporary research into Theatre for Early Years (TEY), developmental psychology and pedagogy, the rights of children and citizen participation, the thesis explores the legitimacy of the genre as a theatrical form. Literature from the biomedical sciences on foetal development also was synthesized to provide a tentative taxonomy of the abilities of the unborn theatregoer. TEY challenges traditional conceptions of theatre as it dispenses with scripts, sets, props and occasionally even actors. Ben explored the genre's purpose, be this to educate, entertain, train spectators in 'theatre-literacy', provide societal benefits, act as 'babysitter', or to engage. He found that as Freudian notions of the baby as tyrant give way to perception of infants as intensely vulnerable and a belief that the first three years can fundamentally determine life chances, TEY is currently negotiating its position in the performing arts field. |

Impact | Ben's CASE research led to an invitation to contribute to the 2015 European Commission Joint Research Centre report edited by Stephane Chaudron, Young Children (0-8) and Digital Technology: A qualitative exploratory study across seven countries. His work during a CBC placement in 2013 with digital app developer Hippotrix, whom he helped produce an app derived from a popular TEY production, led to a 300% increase in turnover and major expansion of Hippotrix's business (see ESRC impact video--Annex B, Key Performance Indicator 7). Future research will include application of dramaturgical strategies to other fields such as Early Years television and autism-friendly cinema and theatre performances. |

Title | Bethany--under-researched area |
Description | Identifying under-researched areas: The Hidden Dancers: A Sociological Analysis of Participatory Dance Activity and Practice in Glasgow, is a study undertaken by Bethany, an extensively trained (though non-professional) dancer. It uncovers and analyses the two-way relationship between social interaction and participatory dance practice, thus bridging studies that focus on dance and the body and those which focus on social interaction excluding the nature of dance activity . Through looking at how people behave and dance when they are in a particular social setting, i.e., analysing the social micro relations that characterise the dancing being performed, and how the dancing itself produces these social micro relations, this study analyses the hierarchy and patterns of social interaction inherent to them. Taking five cases of dance occurring in Glasgow (professional ballet, inclusive creative dance, line dancing, Highland dancing, and salsa club), participant observation allowed for not only evaluating the actions of participants and their opinions, attitudes and beliefs in the field, but also to kinesthetically experience the movement being taught. |

Impact | Bethany was invited to give a seminar on her research during an ESRC sponsored Overseas Institutional Visit to the Boyer College of Music and Dance at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition, she and fellow CASE student Ben Fletcher-Watson founded a new outlet for research in creative performance fields, the peer-reviewed student-led journal, the Scottish Journal of Performance. The students' development of the journal was supported by a grant from the University of St Andrews Centre for Academic, Professional & Organisational Development, and it continues to be published by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. |
Title | Michael |
Description | Applying a nascent theoretical framework to a new empirical arena: Franklin's PhD thesis innovates in two ways: empirically, through an analysis of the previously unexamined role of film data; and theoretically, applying the concept of market devices, drawn from the sociology of finance literature, to an understanding of the film value chain. Originally based on KTP work, Franklin illustrates how, although digital technology has radically disrupted established ways of organising the film industry, digital marketing and distribution tools also provide the means through which filmmakers may manage this environment to their potential advantage. Digital Engagement Metrics (DEMs) such as Likes and Tweets that track interaction with marketing materials, function to present the audience as a 'market', and in doing so allow production companies to maintain control of their IP. Through a longitudinal case study of a film production company and its films, the work develops our understanding of how agencies networked through DEMS and including people, organisations, models, and creative products, interact across multiple instances of market construction. By tracing typically unseen calculative framing activity in a highly exclusive field, the study articulates the deeply interdependent combination of DEMs' quantitative and qualitative valuation capacities which frame and qualify films as goods, and help coordinate the arrangement of multiple economic transactions. Attention to the fine detail of the extensive, negotiated boundary work necessary for market attachment prompts a reconsideration of the smooth and linear Film Value Chain in understanding the empirical field, while the explanatory power of digital market devices has implications for further developing assemblage-oriented research in the creative industries. |

Title | Orian's modelling |
Description | A research technique developed by Orian Brook during her CASE PhD has been cited as illustrating the "evidence gap" in understanding how arts engagement, personal behaviours and life outcomes are related, according to the 2014 Arts Council England evidence review, The Value of Arts and Culture to People and Society. Orian's research demonstrated that previous surveys and analyses of cultural engagement in England are based on "aspatial thinking", or failing to consider whether living close to an arts venue in?uences individuals' attendance; these surveys focus instead on individual demographic and socio-economic characteristics. However Orian's construction of an accessibility index for venues, analysed in parallel with socio-economic information on local audiences, illustrated that location of venues, as well as the geographic distribution of arts funding, does indeed impact attendance. The effect is not linear: those with the poorest access are more likely to attend than a linear trend would predict, perhaps an effect of having poorer access to other facilities so that residents will make multi-purpose trips to better-served locations. In addition, Brook found that good access predominantly benefits the best-educated but poor access has the greatest impact on the least qualified. |

Impact | In 2013 The Audience Agency, company sponsor of Orian's studentship, launched Audience Finder, an online data-sharing and capacity-development programme to support cultural organisations in reaching new and larger audiences. The programme applies Orian's spatial analysis technique to model how attendance is affected by an area's access to cultural opportunities, considering "big data" from cultural participation surveys, box offices, and online interactions. Such analyses of cultural engagement are critical to public and private funding and other capital resources for the arts, which Orian argues in light of her findings, must also consider geographic location. Orian's work has been recognised through invitations to serve on the editorial board of Cultural Trends, and to write a guest blog for the Department of Culture Media and Sport website (see http://dcmsblog.uk/2012/04/location-location-location/). In November 2012 she was invited to participate in a colloquium of academic and policy researchers focussed on improving the quality of knowledge about culture and creativity. 'The challenge of trustworthy creative evidence' event was organised by the Cultural Evidence Project (CEP) at London Metropolitan University, a response to the World Cities Culture Project, which developed out of the Greater London Authority's London: a Cultural Audit, and UK Government's Creative Industries Council revision of its Creative Industry Estimates. "Audience Finder is a combined data-sharing and capacity development programme. Analysis combines customer and behavioural data fed from box office systems, online interactions and a primary research survey exploring motivations and opinions. Much information will be made available as open data" |

Results and Impact | An ICC Business Voucher has launched a new partnership and opened the door to Lottery funding for a community performance project for Glasgow Women's Library (GWL). "Jaw Box" will be produced during 2014-15 by the Library and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), which joined forces during a Business Voucher project conducted in 2013 by Dr. Anna Birch. Dr. Birch worked with the Library to develop a community performance project, and to form a partnership to raise funds and deliver the live and filmed performances of "Jaw Box". The partnership was given a significant boost in February with the award of £45,000 from Creative Scotland's Public Art Lottery Fund.It is anticipated that the project, which will involve up to 500 local women in various aspects of the production, will deliver a variety of social and artistic impacts, including: increased confidence and self-esteem for participants Increased exercising of the right to vote Improved support networks for isolated and vulnerable women Increased engagement with creative activities in Glasgow Increased opportunities for employment through skills development increased awareness of historical landmarks such as women's suffrage and the anniversary of World War I enhanced awareness of social problems in Glasgow, and barriers to arts participation development of a performance DVD which can be marketed via creative enterprise activity |
