What will I learn?

The Dance department has gained an international reputation in PhD studies through Practice as Research, and actively encourage applicants in this area of research practice. Dance is part of a lively research culture which includes visiting artists contributing to regular research presentations, performances, installations and exhibitions and an ongoing Research Dialogues series. There are reading groups and opportunities to develop through paper and performance presentations. We encourage enquiries from potential applicants in Dance and Dance-related subjects in both traditional academic and practice-based research. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research are also available. Supervision is offered by a strong, research-active team with a wide range of expertise, and includes academics and practitioner-scholars with international reputations.
