Practising Research; Researching Practice

The Society for Theatre Research New Researchers' Network

The Society for Theatre Research’s (STR) New Researchers’ Network (NRN) present their Fifth Annual Symposium: Practising Research; Researching Practice. 
Research takes many forms. Archival sources, empirical data, personal interviews, surveys, and practical investigations all contribute to the advancement of scholarship and the development of artistic practice in the field of theatre and performance. Each approach to research provides opportunities for innovation and creativity, but also brings its own limitations: the results of any research are inevitably shaped by the chosen methodological approach. The relatively recent introduction of practice-based and collaborative PhD programmes demonstrates a growing recognition that research can also be conducted through and alongside practice. To what extent do these approaches to research differ from ‘traditional’ PhD processes, and how might the increasing diversity of performance research impact upon the future of the field? Similarly, how might research methods from other fields usefully inform and expand approaches to theatre and performance studies?
The Practising Research; Researching Practice symposium explores the various ways in which scholars, artists, and theatre practitioners undertake the process of research, as well as the opportunities and issues that arise when researching ephemeral, performance-based events. We hope to critique the value and impact of practicing research, and to ask what more can be done to disseminate the findings of underrepresented voices, modalities, and locales of research.
