Our Research Community

Lead the way
Our research community is collaborative, creative and seeks challenge convention.
We develop innovative, collaborative projects which aim to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and promote the development of new artistic media. Whether you are interested in creative practice, science, pedagogy or the theory behind artistic practice, you will find likeminded people at Trinity Laban.
