Critical incidents
​

This section offers critical incidents that emerged through my practice across the PaR settings. 

 

Broadly, critical incidents are ‘revelatory or significant moments’ (Keatinge, 2002, p.34) in practice that highlight deviations (either positive or negative) from what is ‘normal’ or ‘expected’ (Edvardsson, 1992). “[…] like all data, critical incidents are created. Incidents happen, but critical incidents are produced by the way we look at a situation […]” (Tripp, 2011, p.8). The critical incidents that I include in this study, mostly emerged as I did something that I did not expect to in practice, or through concern about doing the ‘right’ thing in my role as facilitator in a particular situation. 

 

Here, I present critical incidents that developed as pivotal because they unearthed or connected to persistent troublings (Hughes & Lury, 2013) in my practice alongside sparking significant critical reflection. They are grouped into two themes:

​

  1. Voice, visibility and vulnerability

  2. Collaboration: approaches to co-creating music

 

In becoming a band, several critical incidents presented from the PaR setting, The Radical Luddites. Subsequently these are presented within a case study format.
