Collaborating with theatres is a great way to explore new perspectives on your work and communicate your research to different audiences. Led by academics and practitioners, this innovative workshop will give you the skills and inspiration to design, propose and secure funding for your own collaborative projects.
TORCH encourages and supports mutually beneficial projects between researchers and theatres in many different ways, including through the Theatres Seed Fund, which offers up to £3k for research-based theatrical collaborations. You'll hear from the successful applicants of the last round of Seed Funding and get tips for your own applications.
Open to researchers from all departments, faculties and schools.
This workshop has now taken place. If you have any questions, please contact Ruth Moore, Theatre Project Officer.
