  Abstract:  

In 2009 I entered the interdisciplinary collaborative world through the Engineering for Life (EfL) - Enhancing Peoples’ Lives project at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council under the ‘Bridging the Gap’ initiative. As a Research Fellow and a research coordinator my role in the scheme was to contribute to the creation and development of multidisciplinary research networks and innovative multidisciplinary projects, as well as to reflect upon ongoing interdisciplinary collaborations. Being a dance scholar and practitioner, as well as a biologist, I was interested in the ‘third culture’, performative science and the theory and practice of interdisciplinarity including all the debates and reactions it raises. The paper discusses the model applied by the EfL in order to generate some novel interdisciplinary research ideas, focusing particularly on their development through the different performance techniques explored during the Ideas generator or Sandpit events.

Keywords: performance, performativity, health care, interdisciplinarity, art-science collaboration
