Research Strategy

Downlodable documents:

The objectives of departmental research are:

To engage in original investigations that will lead to significant contributions to knowledge, and to the construction and creation of new knowledge, within the disciplines of theatre, performance, film and television studies
To explore the relationships between these disciplines, and how these relate to other academic and creative disciplines and practices
To establish meaningful and creative connections between different modes of research and types of output, to enable theory and practice to interrogate each other, and to generate texts, performances, designs, images and ideas which lead to new insights
To develop awareness of the ways in which the particular characteristics of theatre, performance and media culture in Wales relate to trans-national activities and international contexts
To undertake both scholarly and practical research, and also research which is relevant to the needs of theatre, film and television industries, in order to make a lasting contribution to the development of theatre, film and television in Wales and beyond

The Department draws upon an extensive network of local and global connections and collaborations in order to sustain research into the regional, national and international significance of theatre, performance, film, and screen media within a globalised cultural environment.
