  • The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Consultation report The use and promotion of complementary and alternative medicine: making decisions about charitable status Introduction The Commission ran a public consultation on this subject between 13 March and 19 May 2017, as part of our review of how we decide whether organisations that use or promote complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies are charities. Our review is not about whether complementary and alternative therapies and medicines are ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but about what level of evidence the Commission should require when making assessments about an organisation’s charitable status. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to take part. This report sets out a summary of the responses received. The consultation We received over 670 written responses, far in excess of the number usually received for a Commission consultation. We also held two discussion events at our London office for organisations with a particular perspective on the issues under consideration. The majority of responses received were from individuals apparently writing in a personal capacity, but we also received over 100 submissions from people representing, or connected with, organisations with an interest in the consultation. The names of those organisations are set out in the annex to this report. The responses varied widely in length, detail and content. Given the welcome and exceptionally high level of engagement with the consultation, it has taken longer than initially anticipated to analyse the responses. However, we are grateful for the high level of engagement; the responses have helped further our understanding the breadth and complexity of the CAM sector.

  • The Post-Traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews
    The Post-traumatic Theatre of Grotowski and Kantor Advance Reviews “A brilliant cross-disciplinary comparative analysis that joins a new path in theatre studies, revitalizing the artistic heritage of two great twentieth-century masters: Tadeusz Kantor and Jerzy Grotowski.” —Professor Antonio Attisani, Department of Humanities, University of Turin “Among the landmarks of postwar avant-garde theatre, two Polish works stand out: Grotowski’s Akropolis and Kantor’s Dead Class. Magda Romanska scrupulously corrects misconceptions about these crucial works, bringing to light linguistic elements ignored by Anglophone critics and an intense engagement with the Holocaust very often overlooked by their Polish counterparts. This is vital and magnificently researched theatre scholarship, at once alert to history and to formal experiment. Romanska makes two pieces readers may think they know newly and urgently legible.” —Martin Harries, author of “Forgetting Lot’s Wife: On Destructive Spectatorship,” University of California, Irvine “As someone who teaches and researches in the areas of Polish film and theatre – and European theatre/theatre practice/translation more broadly – I was riveted by the book. I couldn’t put it down. There is no such extensive comparative study of the work of the two practitioners that offers a sustained and convincing argument for this. The book is ‘leading edge.’ Romanska has the linguistic and critical skills to develop the arguments in question and the political contexts are in general traced at an extremely sophisticated level. This is what lends the writing its dynamism.” —Dr Teresa Murjas, Director of Postgraduate Research, Department of Film, Theatre and Television, University of Reading “This is a lucidly and even beautifully written book that convincingly argues for a historically and culturally contextualized understanding of Grotowski’s and Kantor’s performances.

  • Science/Art Collaborations by Professor Helen Storey
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS LONDON Unit of Assessment: 34 Title of case study: Science/Art collaborations by Professor Helen Storey 1. Summary of the impact This case study focuses on three Science/Art collaborations Primitive Streak, Wonderland and Catalytic Clothing (CatClo) undertaken since 1997 by Professor Helen Storey. Storey’s work is genuinely collaborative, spanning arts, sciences and new technology fields, and produces projects which illuminate aspects of science and well-being in ways that engage with the public, communicate complicated concepts, and demonstrate the potential of science in an innovative and accessible manner. The projects have reached huge audiences and have made a significant contribution to raising public awareness of science and issues faced by society. 2. Underpinning research Professor Helen Storey began working within University of the Arts London (UAL) in 1997 on the development of Primitive Streak, shortly followed by her appointment as a Visiting Professor (1998) and then employment as a Research Fellow (2000). Since 2009 Storey has been Professor of Fashion and Science at UAL. Through innovative collaborative partnerships, Storey has developed a design language and methodology that successfully captures and evokes scientific process. Primitive Streak (1997) was one of the first six grant recipients in the Wellcome Trust's Sciart scheme, and was produced by Storey in collaboration with her sister Professor Kate Storey (a developmental biologist), with staff and students at UAL. It utilised design and hybrid materials to create 27 pieces of textiles and dress, which elucidated eleven key events in human embryonic development during the first 1000 hours of human life, supported by explanations of the scientific observations that inspired each piece.
