UK: PhD Scholarships in Rethinking a City's Theatres, University of Sheffield

Overview

Digital World is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary theme covering the development, use and impact of Digital Technologies in a range of different disciplines and user environments, including health, society, the arts, and humanities. As part of this theme, three prestigious, University-funded, PhD scholarships are available to start in October 2010 as part of an integrated cross-disciplinary network: Rethinking a City's Theatres, Digital Creativity and Innovation (RECITE)

The key purpose of RECITE is to undertake groundbreaking interdisciplinaryresearch into the challenges of how a city's theatres, including both spaces and performances, could be digitally mapped, modelled and documented to such an extent that they can be reproduced and displayed on Web-based interactive virtual world technologies that are accessible and useful to a wide range of end-user applications. The UK is one of the world's leading countries for contemporary theatre and is endowed with one of the richest histories of theatre in the world. The mission of RECITE is to research appropriate methodologies and technologies such that the vast repositories of the theatre archives hosted around the country can be mined for the benefits of research, education and the creative industries.

Amount Awarded

The network of 3 scholarships is funded by the University, for 3 years, providing a stipend of £13,650 per annum, home/EU fees and a research training grant of £1,000 p.a.
