RESEARCH

 

We place our research under the term 'Expanding Theatre'. 'Expanding' reflects theatre's increasing tendency during the last few decades to operate outside of traditional contexts. Expanding also refers to the application of theatre and theatricality as analytical perspectives on other than theatrical phenomena.

Our three primary focus areas are entitled Corporeal Literacies, Mobile Theatre/Research and New Theatre's Toolkit.

 

Corporeal Literacies

• Mobile Theatre / Research

• New Theatre's Toolkit

 

 

RESEARCH SEMINARS / CONFERENCES
