Performance and Practice-based Research

As well as producing text-based research, we make practice-based research in regional, national and international settings including: exhibitions, dramaturgical projects, devising and directing performances, workshops, applied theatre, theatre for development, archives, gamification, films and installations. In the past few years this has included the following:
