Students design and develop a research project related to their intended area of specialisation and ongoing performance research. They benefit from experienced departmental staff in scoping out a project and learning to refine a topic, articulate questions, conduct a literature review and design an appropriate methodological approach. Students learn to synthesise practical performance experience with theoretical knowledge at Honours level. The research can be undertaken as an individual or in the context of a company. Individual research can be performance-based, a choreographic/directorial study, an historical or sociological study, a project related to performance making, performance pedagogy or a combination of the above.
