Capacities of Enactment
6
Central to effective practice is learning what it takes to translate ideas into action = Capacities of Enactment.
These capacities include:• the ability to rise above obstacles, • the ability to transition effectively from big picture to on-the-ground
implementation, • the ability to ensure focus, set priorities and achieve results.
Essential to developing these is experience in authentic contexts with seasoned collaborators.

LEEP Projects
7
• Through a LEEP Project, students will publicly demonstrate mastery of the LEEP learning outcomes, particularly the capacities of effective practice.
• They do this by selecting or designing and completing a project that allows them to solve a problem or answer a question.
• A ‘project’ is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives.
• The project may respond to the needs of an external partner/organization, build on the student’s existing research, or be self-initiated as in the case of an artistic or entrepreneurial piece.
