Overview
About the programme
Our research themes at the Centre for Dance Research at the Coventry University are many and varied, as are our research methods. These themes and methods are both reflected in and expanded by the many topics of our research students.
Broadly, those themes focus on reflexive enquiry into embodied practices, collective and political action, digitisation, cultural value and the expanded choreographic field.
