Research in Drama and Theatre Arts

Research in the Department of Drama and Theatre arts is international and interdisciplinary in scope. We are known for sector-defining research outputs and impact in the areas of theatre and performance practices, disciplinary interfaces, and in social, political and policy contexts.

Through a combination of local, regional and ambitiously international projects, and research-led teaching and learning, we engage and intervene in 21st century opportunities and challenges.
