Welcome to Theatre Futures
Theatre Futures represents Rose Bruford College’s expanding performance research culture. The site is split into three main sections (Knowledge Transfer, Community Outreach and Research Resources) reflecting all areas of research in the College. Browse our ‘live’ respository of work to find information on past and present research activity with both academic and industry-oriented output.
Discover some of the exciting resources that the College has to offer to alumni and professional theatre practioners through its funding and development section, Knowledge Transfer. You can also gain insight into our educational and professional outreach work on the Community Outreach section of the site.
Our Research Resources section contains some exciting project-specific work as well as information on past research-related events such as symposia, conferences and seminars.
One of the intentions behind Theatre Futures is for it to be an ‘organic’ website and develop with content over time as a research project in itself.
Rose Bruford College is a specialist College internationally known for its pioneering work in developing degree-level training in all aspects of professional theatre and theatre-related arts. For more information on degree programmes and courses please visit the college’s main website.
