A PhD research scholarship including stipend and tuition fee costs is
offered within the School of Arts and Institute of Creative
Technologies. It is available to UK or EU students who are suitably
qualified and have outstanding potential as researchers.
In offering this scholarship the University aims to further develop its
proven research strengths in Digital Performance. It is an excellent
opportunity for a candidate of exceptional promise to contribute to a
stimulating, world-class research environment.
This is a frontier research project that will investigate the role of
digital performance creativity (practice, technologies and
story-telling) in pre-HE Performing Arts Education (BTEC, GCSE), with
the intention of finding solutions that can re-dress the national
shortfall in performing arts students entering HE with digital
performance capabilities and openness. The aim of this research project
is to seek to understand how creative digital technology can enhance
learning in pre-HE performing arts education. The projected objectives
might therefore be to define the pedagogic context and rationale for
this field*; *develop technological tools and learning resources;
analyse engagement learning, human-computer interaction and creative
cognition in the context of this project; and/ or develop the groundwork
for the beta design of a live-coding software environment for this sector.
