How can Dartington College of Arts be the same if it is not at Dartington?
There is no denying that a physical relocation of the College from the Dartington Estate will change the College. Nevertheless, there is confidence that the distinctiveness of the College is more than just its physical location. The College has a unique commitment to being a radical, innovative Higher Education learning community for contemporary arts practices in performance. This can best be summarised by a recent quote from Andrew Brewerton, Principal of Dartington College of Arts: “Our artistic and academic vision and cultural horizons at Dartington have never been confined, either by our physical scale or by our geographic location. What we do here is highly distinctive in teaching, research and artistic practice. Every creative community worthy of the name will from time to time re-create itself accordingly to the context in which it works and the spirit of its times.
