Drama and Theatre Arts
Research in the department covers a range of practices of and approaches to contemporary performance, with a particular focus on the use of critical, philosophical and political theory.
Our work around contemporary theatre and performance covers a broad range of practices from across Europe and Britain. We engage in the critical, political and contextual analysis of various modes of theatrical and performance-based practices, including new writing; devised performance; music; digital technologies; immersive and participatory performance; European theatre since 1960; festivals and tourism; Performance Art and Live Art; and acting and directing methodologies.
