Abstract
Performance as Research (PaR) has been rapidly developed and accepted within Australian Higher Education. For the last 25 years, the standard of research in the field of performing arts especially theatre and performance has been progressed and recognized by Australian Research Council. Performance research derived from various influences such as performance studies, Australian policy in education, and the group of Australian artists-researchers in academia. Although, it has also been questioning and criticizing by academics and professionals in and out of the field. Presently, performative research is a popular practice under Australian PhD and Doctoral degree in performing arts. This article intends to explore the characteristics of Performance Research in Australia based on Australasian Drama Studies Association (ADSA) policy, as well as the current trend of research in performing arts that is driven to performative research known as ‘Practice-led Research’.
