Applied Theatre Research focuses on the intersection of performance, social engagement, and diverse contexts. It explores how theatre practices can address social issues, facilitate community building, and impact individual well-being. The journal examines pedagogical approaches in theatre, the role of the body in performance, and ethical considerations within applied theatre projects. It also investigates the use of performance in educational settings, healthcare, and for marginalized populations.
