Pursuing a PhD allows you to deeply explore a specialized area within drama, theatre, or performance at the highest academic level. East 15 Acting School, with its expanding research reputation and globally recognized excellence, provides an ideal environment for such scholarly work.
At East 15, research students can choose between two distinct pathways. The PhD in Drama and Performance follows a traditional format, evaluated through a written thesis and oral defense. Alternatively, the PhD Drama and Performance (Practice as Research) program assesses candidates through creative practice, a supporting thesis that examines the practical work within its research context, and an oral examination. Typical practice-based research areas may encompass: stage direction, dramaturgy, actor development, theatrical design (sets, audio, lighting, costumes), and experimental performance.
