The workshop is aimed at PGR students based in the North West, and will focus on intercultural theatre and demonstrating Applied Theatre as an emotional and cognitive methodology. This is an interactive workshop where participants will be versed in a selection of applied theatre techniques. The workshop adopts a reflexive model requiring continuous reflection on the nature and validity of the techniques and the application they might have within the participants own research.

By the end of the day participants will gain a solid understanding of an outstanding example of a piece of practice led research. They will understand various methods of turning and harnessing various types of arts practice into a project that can be legitimately called ‘research’. Participants will gain an understanding of how practical processes and findings can be articulated on paper.

Dr. Amy Bonsall is a highly experienced theatre director and educationalist. She has delivered workshops in South Africa, Thailand, Malawi and throughout the UK.

The workshop which will take place on 10 July is tailored to doctoral students and early career researchers.

The workshop is co-organised between methods@manchester and artsmethods@manchester.
