AHRC studentship applications must be submitted by midnight GMT on 2 February 2015.
Research in the School is organised through three interacting research groups covering the domain of Performance and Cultural Industries. These groups are hubs for early career researchers, mid-career academics and senior research leaders and all postgraduate research students are identified with at least one group. The School of Performance and Cultural Industries encourage applications for PhD study in these three research groupings:
1. Practitioner Processes
2. Cultural Engagement, Policy and Practice
3. Performance Technologies
Practitioner Processes: Researchers in this group engage critically with a variety of creative processes related to the preparation and production of theatre, live art, new writing, opera, dance and contemporary site specific performance. Research methodologies used by its members include critical historiography and archival research, phenomenology, ethnography, practice-led and interdisciplinary research. Specific interests include:
- Performer training histories and practices
- Sensorial and site specific performance
- Interdisciplinary performance
- New writing and new dramaturgies
- Music theatre, opera and composed theatre
- Performance and heritage
- Documentation and performance
- Adaptation and intermediality
- Improvisation, choreography and collective creativity
Cultural Engagement, Policy and Practice: Members of this group research and publish on the complex and diverse ways in which people and societies engage with culture practices and experiences. Whether disciplinary-based or inter-disciplinary in scope, the group’s research is designed to have impact both within the academic community and upon society. Specific interests include:
- Applied theatre
- Cultural histories
- Cultural policy
- Urban and rural culture and creativity
- Punk and post punk cultures
- Cultural value
- Cultural economy
- Arts marketing and cultural experience
- Participatory Cultural Experience
- Management in the Performing Arts
Performance Technologies: Members of this group share a fundamental curiosity about the materiality of performance, from wood and cloth to digital animation. Their concerns lie with the languages of technologies in performance, and the influences of performance knowledge on technological design. Specific interests include:
- Immersive and Environmental Performance
- The phenomenology of scenography in performance
- Active spectatorship
- Human/technology interface
- Performance and new technologies
- Digital performance and the body
- Performance as a tool for innovation in design processes

Projecting Performance was a collaborative research project between performance academics and digital technologists from digital arts company KMA Ltd. The project focused on choreographic and scenographic exchange between dancers and projected digital images within a theatrical context. It investigated a set of interrelationships between performer, projection and technical operator, where the operator becomes a ‘performer’ both controlling and being spontaneously present in the digital image on stage.Work that directly integrates performance and technologist in both process and performance is still rare. Collaborative methods that facilitate such integration deserve further exploration for the combined benefit of both academic and professional communities. This research project sought to identify the underlying processes of our work as collaborators from the fields of performance and new technologies, within the context of a performance research laboratory.
Projecting Performance was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
