Material musings: Virginia Frankovich in conversation with Amanda Levey
In this podcast Virginia Frankovich discusses and expands on the ideas she investigated in her practice paper ‘Stretching material possibilities within the creative arts therapies: Exploring margarine, charcoal and sound, and their affective entanglements within co-responsive ecosystems’. In this paper Virginia explores engaging experientially with margarine, charcoal and sound as arts materials, alongside two fellow emerging creative arts therapists, sharing her perspective on her group’s resonances/dissonances in relation to creative arts therapy frameworks such as the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC). She examines the new materialist agential potency of material impermanency as offering therapeutic possibilities for transformation and the building of new orders.
