The Performance Research Hub has small pots of up to £500 available to fund participatory events which explore co-creative and collaborative work in theatre and performance.
The Hub provides an arena for researchers and practitioners with shared interests within this field to come together to discuss the theory of performance and to cross-fertilise ideas and practice across a wide range of academic disciplines and communities. This programme of events links directly with the initiatives of the Performance Research Hub, enabling external artists and partners to work with academics to co-create, collaborate and share their research and work in new ways and with new and wider audiences.
Apply via IRAMS. Deadline 10am, Monday 16 June 2025 (8th week).
The lead applicant must be an academic based in the Humanities Division. Either more than one University department/Faculty must be involved, or an external artist must be involved. We welcome applications from researchers at any career stage (DPhil students, Early Career Researchers, research staff (whether college or department), as well as postholders).
All types of events are considered including seminars, workshops, performances, screenings and conversations. They must have a clear link to your research at the University of Oxford. We are looking to support events that bring researchers together in a multi-disciplinary space, participatory research with artists, creatives etc, that experiment and have the potential to lead to further collaborations.
Funding is available of up to £500 per event. This can be used for items such as:
-
Refreshments/catering
-
Screening licenses
-
Travel for speakers
-
Artist fees
We also welcome applications for events which do not need funding, but which would benefit from association with the Performance Research Hub.
