About us
We are internationally recognised theatre makers, performers, directors, scholars and curators. Our relationship with the theatre and performance community is broad and longstanding. Organisations and artists in Manchester and beyond turn to our specialist expertise for training, support and contextual research, as well as creative leadership.
Doctoral study
We are also keen to support and grow our community of doctoral student researchers. PhD students are a key part of our research culture. Recent PhDs include actors’ mental health, the greenroom archive, the British Muslim community’s engagement with theatre, actor training and the performativity of photography. We are interested in hearing from potential PhD candidates with proposals in the areas we cover.
