About Goldsmiths TheatrE

tHEATRE. rESEARCH. ACTION. COMMUNITY. EXPERIMENTATION.

Goldsmiths Theatre understands theatre not only as entertainment, but as a space for investigation and experimentation. Students engage across disciplines to explore how performance can respond to pressing social, cultural, and political issues, and are encouraged to question and expand the possibilities of what theatre can be.

Research in Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths, University of London brings together creative practice and critical scholarship, often working across and beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Collaboration and interdisciplinarity are central to the department’s ethos. Students, researchers, and artists experiment with new approaches to writing, practice-as-research, and performance-making, developing innovative forms that connect theory, artistic practice, and public engagement.
