Overview
Our practice-based PhD program in Theatre Performance at Monash University will give you the practical experience and opportunity to develop your expertise as a researcher and the professional tools to give you a competitive edge in an ever-evolving employment market.
Features
- At the core of the PhD degree is the Arts Advantage PhD program.
- This consists of an extensive, independent research project supported by at least two expert academic supervisors, a live performance in a public venue (which will normally be in one of the fields of directing, theatre making or dramatic writing), a critical commentary of the performance, and professional development activities or coursework units that provide you with the skills to make an impact in academia, industry, government or the wider community.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- You will undertake research that will inform both your creative work and your thesis.
- Based on your research and the subsequent creative work, an accompanying critical component of more than 30,000-35,000 words must be completed in the form of a thesis.
- The thesis will be an explication and analysis of the performance research project and will address methodological and theoretical issues that arise during the research investigation.
- You will develop and present a live performance in a public venue, which will normally be in one of the fields of directing, theatre making or dramatic writing.
- The performance will embody the results of the research investigation, which will be into the contexts, theoretical influences, aesthetic elements and performance making processes of the project.
