Performance Research Group at Manchester Met

We nourish world-leading, industry-focused and interdisciplinary work in the field of performance. We build practices, structures and projects that bring performance artists and researchers into productive dialogue with each other. We influence creative developments, public policy and broader culture through impactful performance research by our members across the Faculty of Arts & Humanities.
