## Description

How have theatre and performance research methods and methodologies engaged the expanding diversity of performing arts practices? How can students best combine performance/theatre research approaches in their projects? This book's 29 contributors provide hands-on answers to such questions. Challenging and debating received research wisdom and exploring innovative procedures for rigorous enquiry via archives, technology, practice-as-research, scenography, performer training, applied theatre/performance, body in performance and more, they create a focussed compendium of future research options. Key Features * Created in association with TaPRA, the leading UK Theatre and Performance Research organisation, with chapters produced by specialist groupings. * Provides many detailed project case studies and examples - including successful practice-based PhDs - plus analysis of dynamic couplings between methods, methodologies and skill-sets. * Introduction interrogates crucial qualities of performing arts research that constitute theatre and performance as, variously, single-, multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary. * Contributors include: Maggie B. Gale (Chair of Drama, University of Manchester); Steve Dixon (Professor of Digital Performance, Brunel University); Joanne 'Bob' Whalley and Lee Miller (University Lecturers and founders Fictional Dogshelf Theatre Company); Simon Ellis and Rosemary Lee (independent performance/dance makers); Roberta Mock (Professor of Performance, University of Plymouth).

### ⭐⭐ Useless other than to show how NOT to write about research
*by M***N on 24 September 2023*

Purchased for class and almost unreadable. Do not recommend unless you intend it as a means of showing what NOT to do. This book compiles several academics and lecturers in their given fields talking about best practices for research within their given theatre discipline. I feel I learned so much more about what is necessary in clear academic writing based solely on my confusion over what this book didn't tell me. i.e.: Where are the relevant case studies? Where is the structure from author to author that keeps all the information coherent and relevant to the theme? How do I know these are the most effective/current research methods other than the authors say so?
