PostgraduateCourse summary
This programme is well positioned to facilitate practice-based research by virtue of our high-specification performance and rehearsal spaces, design studios, workshops, technical infrastructure and specialist support staff. The research into our disciplines often involves exploration in, and through, the media that we are concerned with. Such activity always has its contexts, and Central’s academic staff are expert in the connections to be drawn between exploratory practice and advanced conceptualising, process and product, making and articulating.

Research areas: performance history, and historiography; theories of acting, and embodiment; practice as research; contemporary performance, and cultural identities (especially national identities); processes of performance making; postmodernism, and performance; directing, and directors' theatre; music, and dance theatre; installation art, and site-specific performance; cultural policy; festivals; physical theatre; interculturalism, and performance; post-colonialism, and performance; South Asian performance; globalisation, and performance; the body, gender, and sexualities in performance; cities, and performance; modern Brazilian theatre; 20th century Spanish theatre; contemporary European theatre; applied drama; theatre, and development.

A 1st degree, and Master's degree, in relevant subjects; significant, and relevant professional experience in place of a Master's qualification are considered in exceptional circumstances; those proposing to undertake research that includes practice-based elements, must normally demonstrate appropriate experience, and proficiency in relevant areas of practice.
