"summary": "The Research Degree Programme leads to one of the following awards: \n• MPhil / PhD in Creative Practice: [Dance / Music / Collaborative Arts] \n• MPhil / PhD in Dance Studies / Musicology / Collaborative Arts Studies\n• MPhil / PhD in [Dance and / or Music] Science \n• MPhil / PhD in [Dance and / or Music] Pedagogy \n\nKey Features\nThe Research Degree Programme includes an induction period, research skills training, seminars, and a requirement to present your research work on a regular basis. You will mainly focus on regular one-to-one supervisions with two allocated research members of Trinity Laban staff or one member of Trinity Laban staff and one supervisor from a different institution. \n\nThe options in creative practice are suitable if your main focus is in musical composition, choreography, music and dance performance, movement-based somatic practice, or other projects in art forms such as film, installation, and photography that interface substantially with either music or dance. Any related activity which embodies practical components, including research incorporating interdisciplinary collaborations, is also suitable. Historical research projects that use archive resources at Trinity Laban are also admissible under this option. \n\nThe following indicative research topics could be accommodated under the fully-written dance studies/ musicology/ collaborative arts pathways:\nMusicology Topics within: music theory; music analysis; historical musicology; historical performance practice; music history and historiography; philosophy of music; sociology of music; music and gender; music and politics; music performance studies;\nDance Studies Topics within: dance theory and studies; dance history and historiography; philosophy of dance; sociology of dance; dance and gender; dance and politics; dance performance studies;\nCollaborative Arts Topics within: intersectional studies between music and/or dance and other artforms; choreomusicology; projects studying historical collaborative practice; case studies of transdisciplinary arts projects; collaborative arts and mediatization.\n\nThe options in science and pedagogy are available if you are specialising in empirical approaches to topics in music and / or dance research and if you wish to concentrate on educational and pedagogical aspects. \n\nSome researchers combine practice with theoretical perspectives – for example, looking at the cultural context of the creation and performance of works. Practitioners and researchers from Trinity Laban are developing innovative, collaborative projects which push the boundaries of the art forms and promote the development of new artistic media.",
