Abstract

Chiptune Marching Band (CTMB) is a workshop-performance held in diverse public venues internationally (http://chiptunemarchingband.com/). The CTMB project proposes a contemporary form of dialogic art - an inclusive, participatory event designed to provide direct experience of resource, social and creative dynamics. In this poster we invoke the phrase "ecology of practice" to describe CTMB in terms of a number of interrelationships: amongst skills, with materials, in creativity and between participants. We also present our evaluative methods for 'participant' feedback within this type of event that are designed to be congruous with the overall intention.
