This module supports students in the development of their particular research interests and will typically follow through with plans from the research proposal written for the Research Skills module. As appropriate, students will be encouraged to engage with key practitioners, theory, historical perspectives, performance practice, philosophical debate, analytical techniques, and a range of research methods. Diverse output types are available depending on what will best support the student’s future academic or employment ambitions. For instance, a project may include practice-led research, practice-as-research or research-led practice elements or it may take the form of an essay or short performing/critical edition. Seminars will involve discussion of specific texts to support the range of work explored in students’ chosen projects. Performance recording projects may be developed in a studio setting if the student has the appropriate studio skills.
