A final independent research project offers students the opportunity to hone their critical writing skills and to develop a portfolio of practice and research interests.Ideal for students who have recently completed a BA in Theatre, Performance Studies, Comparative Literature, English or related fields, and/or spent time engaging in critical performance practice or work in related industries (museums, festival planning, etc.).
