PERFORMANCE AS RESEARCH WORKING GROUP

 

Performance as Research (PAR) investigates creative-academic issues raised by performance as research across the performance media: dance, film, television and theatre. A number of key issues are driving the formation of the working group focusing on Performance Research including the following:

  • What field(s) of activity does `performance as research` describe? 
  • What knowledge(s) can performance generate and to what extent knowledge and understanding are increased by performance as research?
  • What are appropriate modalities through which to communicate about and in terms of performance?
  • What is the meaning and standing of a qualification in performance research?
  • What are the implications of developing bodies of practice and theory specific to performance as research?  
For more information about the working group see IFRT /FIRT – working groups.
