Drama, Theatre and Performance Research Group

Description

The Drama, Theatre and Performance Research Group at Greenwich is an interdisciplinary network of academics, practitioners and research students from across the University who are interested in a range of areas relating to the theory and practice of Drama, Theatre and Performance.

The research group represents the diverse interests of Drama, Theatre and Performance academics at the university but can broadly be arranged into four key thematic priorities:

• Participation and Social Engagement
• Emergent practices/processes in contemporary drama, theatre and performance
• Intergenerational methodologies
• Actor/performer/writer training.

These central themes are underpinned by research related activities that address:

• Artistic Practice: Developing ways that the university can interact and intersect with professional industry to enhance the student experience and contribute to the cultural ecology of South-East London.
• Community/socially engaged Practice: Developing methodologies to inform arts-based practice, which can be used to further local community engagement with the university and its theatre.
• Academic Practice: Develop agendas to facilitate collaborative practice, which contributes new knowledge and broader understanding of the field.

Members are engaged in funded research projects, industry consultancy and the publishing of academic journal articles, collections and books in a range of areas including: Contemporary British Theatre, Contemporary Performance, Performer Training, Participatory and Socially Engaged Performance.
