Inhoud
Performance Research Lab: Act II aims to map out and sustain the students’ individual research trajectories, in order to prepare for the MA thesis. Students learn how to single out and formulate research questions and how to define and contextualise the corpus of their research. Students work on their individual research plans, although closely with others that share similar or overlapping areas of interest and methodology. Through assignments, they develop skills in: formulating a series of questions about their research through a process of engaging with relevant theoretical discourse; contextualising those questions; developing a pertinent methodological plan (with the knowledge acquired in Performance Research Lab – Act I); compiling an annotated bibliography connected to those questions. By the end of this course, students will have composed a research proposal and will be ready to start writing their thesis. Why Theatre?! sessions and presentations by (PhD) researchers and practitioners contribute to this end. The course closes with presentations of thesis plans for fellow students and staff.

Career orientation:
Various (PhD) researchers are invited into the course, which adds to insight and knowledge of current developments in the workfield.

Early exit option for international exchange students
Students who are required to return to their home university by the end of December, are allowed to complete the course by 'distance learning' (extra assignments, papers etc) in the month of January, receiving 5 ECTS for the course. Students must always make individual arrangements with the course coordinator before the start of the course.
