Theatre and Performance Research Association

Welcome to the TaPRA website

The Theatre & Performance Research Association (TaPRA) exists in order to facilitate research through and into theatre and performance. It is based on collegiality with a formal structure that intends to advance informal, productive and dynamic research networks.

Although membership is largely British and Irish, TaPRA welcomes international members and seeks to engage with research across a wide range of cultures, disciplines and geographies.

TaPRA does not express a political affilitation and is not a lobbying body. It aims to foster research that:

  • enables links between practitioners and scholars within our disciplines and across cognate fields;
  • liaises with specialist organisations and groupings;
  • encourages early career research in theatre and performance.

The 8th Annual TaPRA Conference will be held at The University of Kent  at Canterbury September 5-7, 2012. Further details, including how to book, can be found below.

Priority will be given to students in the final two years of their PhD, and those who have not received a previous TaPRA bursary.

1. A Curriculum Vitae
2. A case for subvention (200 words)
3. Abstract for proposed paper (250 words)
4. Statement of support from supervisor or other appropriate member of HEI (e.g. Postgraduate Officer). This should be brief but indicate significance of contribution to TaPRA for student.
