MPhil in Theatre and Performance in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

The Theatre Department provides expert supervision across diverse fields, encompassing early modern performance traditions, theatrical developments in the 19th and 20th centuries, modern British theater, performance translation and adaptation, current performance methodologies, dance history and techniques, physicality in performance, performance philosophy, digital and immersive experiences, and audience research.

Our department excels in both historical scholarship and practice-led research. Students can pursue practice-oriented projects or work with materials from our Theatre Collection - an accredited museum and archive facility located within our department. This collection ranks among Britain's largest theater archives, with specialized holdings in regional Southwest theater, Victorian-era performance, postwar theater, experimental performance art, stage and costume design, and theater-related visual arts.

For interdisciplinary research proposals, we can form customized supervisory teams drawing expertise from multiple departments and faculties to support the project's requirements.
