This Research Focus initiates and organizes practical research in the performing arts.
We adopt qualitative, quantitative and artistic research methods.
Our strategic goals are:
To remain practically relevant:
- We foster an approach that tracks issues of education in theatre and dance as closely as possible
- We support practical research methods (practice-based research, artistic research)
- Artists are involved in the research
To cultivate a sustainable research culture:
- Research expertise should be structured for the long term
- Major topic clusters are pursued over several years and research projects so as to gain visibility in the international research community
- Researchers should be funded for long-term careers
