What is Drama research at UCalgary?

Drama research at UCalgary focuses on theatre, performance, and storytelling as ways to understand and reflect on the world. Our researchers study acting, playwriting and theatre history, while also exploring new performance practices. We work closely with local and global theatre communities to create and share meaningful artistic and scholarly work.
