Course Information

Doctor of Philosophy

Effective from 01-JAN-2015 : Code L12

This course is for students with substantial experience in the arts industry/profession. The course provides an opportunity for original, highly accomplished practitioners, performers and artists who aspire towards a more extensive research and creative profile. Although this is a discrete award relating to the performing arts, opportunities will exist for cross-disciplinary study through joint supervision of the research. Specifically the course aims to create opportunities for developing critical and creative skills at an advanced level; utilise the resources of the Academy to create leadership opportunities for artists with extensive professional experience to re-define or pursue alternative lines of practical and/or theoretical inquiry; and provide the environment to experiment with cross-cultural or interdisciplinary forms that have the potential to extend the knowledge of the performing arts.
