Modules

This module will assist you in developing, critically reflecting on and evaluating a research topic of your own design. You will explore key methodologies in theatre and performance studies (including ?practice-based? and action research), develop advanced research and writing skills and work towards identifying an area of independent research in consultation with your tutor and peers. The module aims to prepare you for your MA dissertation project in either theatre practice or applied theatre, and to equip you with key skills in research, analysis, writing and academic practice. By the end of the module, you will be familiar with academic resources, have an advanced understanding of research processes, practices and methodologies, and be able to confidently research and present your ideas and place them within the broader research landscape of drama, theatre and performance studies.
