TWO AHRC-FUNDED PHD STUDENTSHIPS IN PERFORMANCE STUDIES

Two full PhD studentships are being offered, one based in the Visual Cultures Department at Goldsmiths, the other in Drama, Theatre and Performance at Roehampton. Both studentships will commence 1 October 2009 and run for three years until September 2012.

The studentships will comprise an integral component of an innovative three-year research project Performance Matters, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). This project will explore the challenges to ideas of cultural value presented by contemporary live art and performance practices. Co-directed by Dr Gavin Butt (Goldsmiths), Professor Adrian Heathfield (Roehampton) and Lois Keidan, it will comprise the staging of discursive and performance events in the Higher Education and cultural sectors in London. The project will be transdisciplinary in approach and is intended to investigate the changing status of performance within the institutions and practices of visual art, dance, and theatre, as well as within academic theory and cultural life more broadly.

For further information and enquiries contact either Dr Gavin Butt (g.butt@gold.ac.uk or Prof. Heathfield (A.Heathfield@roehampton.ac.uk).
