Research Strategy

Recent external funding has enabled individuals and organisations to work with Trinity Laban’s new Business Enterprise Manager whose role is to facilitate knowledge exchange with Trinity Laban for commercial and community benefit, promoting access to a wide variety of academic specialists, technical expertise and resources, to improve skills, products and business processes.

In 2007, we have launched specially funded projects to investigate collaboration between dance and music. We are exploring issues relating to dance and music performers’ vocabularies, training dance and music students with disabilities, and looking at ways in which performance might be optimised. We are encouraging the development of new choreographic / music opportunities. All these initiatives signify a vibrant, if relatively small research enterprise, which is expected to grow as new challenges present themselves.Our students benefit from the dialogue that such research generates, as well as in several cases being participants in these research activities. We are actively supporting our staff to engage in research to ensure a growing research output to enable the continuing development of our art forms.
