PhD in Performing Arts

The Graduate Program in Performing Arts (PPGAC) has stood out for its investigation of theatrical practice and theory, which are always confronted in order to feed each other reciprocally. The central objectives of the program are the training of professors and researchers of excellence; encouraging the continuous improvement of the teaching staff; the promotion of innovation in the field of intellectual production and the establishment of a fruitful and permanent dialogue between the University and society. The PPGAC has two areas of concentration:

1. Theater Theory and Practice, which, by stimulating the joint production of theater knowledge and practice, undoes the scheme based on the temporal dissociation of creative and reflective operations and
2. Theater Pedagogy, which comprises both investigations that deal with the educational character of theatrical practice and those focused on the principles and methods of teaching and learning theater in professional and amateur circuits.
