Our Alumni - Work For Us
In this module you will be introduced to a range of research methods and strategies relevant to the contemporary academic fields of theatre and performance. You will also learn how to work as an ethical researcher, and will be expected to follow the University Ethics Code for research.
You will be encouraged to align your developing research interests with contemporary debates and approaches within this field and to view your own evolving scholarly understanding and interests as a developing ‘body of research’ from which you can extract, test, and process your own research questions. You will be supported by tutors to identify and refine specific research questions that underpin your developing scholarly interests, and to activate and explore these questions in and through your own research output.
Work on this module is designed to enhance the scholarly research based enquiry that will inform your work on Theatre and Performance Project. The module will encourage you to develop academic skills focussing particularly on: developing skills in reflective and evaluative research writing; and supporting you to build an extensive bibliography and resources list that will lead you into your final project.
You will be introduced to a number of approaches and methods, drawing on existing practices and expertise within the core academic teaching team. Explicitly, staff research will inform a significant part of your learning on this module as you will engage directly in discussions rooted in staff research projects.
You can expect to encounter methods, theories and approaches such as:
Practice as Research; Ethnography; Action Research; Phenomenology; Applied Research; Qualitative methods; Semi-structured Interview techniques; Archival Research; Performance Analysis.
Likewise, you can expect to encounter research topics and questions in the areas of (indicatively):
Performer Training Research Practices; Documentation and Performance Practice; Research within Applied Theatre contexts; Researching the Body in Performance; Exploring Identity through Performance; Autobiography; Walking Practices; Political Performances; Social Performance (e.g. protests or political speech making).
