    The requirement that candidates in studio-based or practice-led higher degrees by research should formulate a research question has been found to be problematic by some writers. The present article argues that this stance, particularly as it is articulated by proponents of the influential category of 'performative research' (Haseman, 2006, 2007), is ill-founded and that formulating a research question correctly can instead assistthe creative project and prevent it separating into two separate enterprises: one practical and the other theoretical.
