AHRC funding for UK/EU arts and humanities research students
PhD Studentships in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries at the
University of Leeds for 2014
Following the announcement that the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities
(WRoCAH) has received £19m from the AHRC to establish a Doctoral Training
Partnership that will create over 300 PhD studentships and join the expertise
of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York, we are delighted to announce
a range of AHRC-funded PhD opportunities in the School of Performance and
Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds.
Research in the School is organised through three interacting research groups
covering the domain of Performance and Cultural Industries. These groups are
hubs for early career researchers, mid-career academics and senior research
leaders and all postgraduate research students are identified with at least one
group. The School of Performance and Cultural Industries encourage
applications for PhD study in these three research groupings:
1. Practitioner Processes
2. Cultural Engagement, Policy and Practice
3. Performance Technologies
Practitioner
Processes<http://www.pci.leeds.ac.uk/research/practitioner-processes/>:
Researchers in this group engage critically with a variety of creative
processes related to the preparation and production of theatre, live art, new
writing, opera, dance and contemporary site specific performance. Research
methodologies used by its members include critical historiography and archival
research, phenomenology, ethnography, practice-led and interdisciplinary
research. Specific interests include:
* Performer training histories and practices
* Sensorial and site specific performance
* Interdisciplinary performance
* New writing and new dramaturgies
* Music theatre, opera and composed theatre
* Performance and heritage
* Documentation and performance
* Adaptation and intermediality
* Improvisation, choreography and collective creativity
Cultural Engagement, Policy and
Practice<http://www.pci.leeds.ac.uk/research/cultural-engagement-policy-and-practice/>:
Members of this group research and publish on the complex and diverse ways in
which people and societies engage with culture practices and experiences.
Whether disciplinary-based or inter-disciplinary in scope, the group's research
is designed to have impact both within the academic community and upon society.
Specific interests include:
* Applied theatre
* Cultural histories
* Cultural policy
* Urban and rural culture and creativity
* Punk and post punk cultures
* Cultural value
* Cultural economy
* Arts marketing and cultural experience
* Participatory Cultural Experience
* Management in the Performing Arts
Performance
Technologies<http://www.pci.leeds.ac.uk/research/performance-technologies/>:
Members of this group share a fundamental curiosity about the materiality of
performance, from wood and cloth to digital animation. Their concerns lie with
the languages of technologies in performance, and the influences of performance
knowledge on technological design. Specific interests include:
* Immersive and Environmental Performance
* The phenomenology of scenography in performance
* Active spectatorship
* Human/technology interface
* Performance and new technologies
* Digital performance and the body
* Performance as a tool for innovation in design processes
