Performance Research Network

The Performance Research Network is an interdisciplinary group drawing together thinkers and doers from across Ãå±±½ûµØ spanning literature, theatre studies, human geography, creative writing, urban planning, music, business studies, architecture, fine art, culture and media studies, digital cultures, and beyond.

We research performance; conduct research through performance; and research to create performance: for us, ‘performance’ is a subject, a methodology, and an outcome. This network enables colleagues to share their research; learn from each other's methodologies and approaches; share teaching materials and exercises; and develop relationships with local practitioners, companies, and arts organisations. The network also aims to increase the visibility of both performance research at Ãå±±½ûµØ (within the University, nationally and internationally) and the vibrancy of the North East performance sector.

The Performance Research Network has recently launched an online exhibition on "Liveness": 

We are supported by the Institute for Creative Arts Practice and the Humanities Research Institute at Ãå±±½ûµØ.
