Journal overview

RiDE: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance is a refereed journal aimed at those with an interest in applying performance practices to cultural engagement, education and social change. The Journal​ provides an international forum for innovative research into drama and theatre conducted in community, education, developmental and therapeutic contexts. RiDE publishes original research that is urgent, timely or significant for the field and offers analysis and critique of the discipline. The Points and Practices section invites short articles, of between 1800-3000 words that discuss contemporary practice, research-in-progress, considerations of single projects, or pieces which might respond directly to the Journal’s longer articles. We welcome contributions from emerging practitioners and researchers from across the globe, as well as more established practitioners and academics.
