Research in the Drama Department is conducted through
the creation of new theatre works, directing, performance
practice, and applied theatre as well as through more
conventional scholarly publication. Research enquiries
develop out of and feed into the teaching and directing
processes for Acting for the Camera, Television drama,
Theatre Making, Community Theatre, Acting, Dance
Theatre, Applied theatre, Site Specific performance and
the development of mixed media theatre and performance
works. Research projects are sometimes created in
conjunction with other arts practitioners, e.g. visual artists
and/or musicians. Many projects are located in the
profession through staff links with contemporary South
African theatre, performance and dance companies.
Partnerships or links with theatre, drama and dance projects
in local communities have further enriched the research
possibilities within the department. Globally, the research
work of the department has been performed across all
five continents. Postgraduate enrolments continue to
increase, offering increased research opportunities, and
the department seeks to strengthen both the studio work
and documentation of research through seminar papers,
debate, submissions for publication and the development
of new theatre works and practices at postgraduate level.
The Department is actively exploring ways of presenting
and assessing practice as research in conjunction with
departments in other South African universities, and
in conversation with international universities and the
International Federation of Theatre Research.
