The Drama By Research programme from the University of Kent draws on the Drama Department and School of ArtsÕ longstanding international reputation in the development of practice as research and brings students into a research environment of excellence.
Key areas of focus within the department include cognition and performance, applied and socially engaged theatre, popular performance and European theatre. Practice focuses on dance, physical actor training, puppetry, live art, autobiographical and documentary performance, providing a rich context for postgraduate study.
Our two drama-based research centres actively involve postgraduate students - the Centre for Cognition, Kinesthetics and Performance and the European Theatre Research Network. Research students attend and support the many seminars these centres offer each term and a selection of School seminars. There are dedicated postgraduate events where students can present their research in a constructive atmosphere. Discipline-specific methodology training is provided through one-to-one supervision and/or group workshops.
The department also facilitates Work in Progress meetings to help foster the research culture, improve studentsÕ research skills and bring together members of the postgraduate research community.
Individual staff research interests cover a wide range of both historical and contemporary aspects of the theory and practice of theatre, and supervision is available in all these areas.
