Theatre, Dance and Performance Training

Aims & Scope

Theatre, Dance and Performance Training ( TDPT) is a rigorously peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for practitioners, academics, creative artists and pedagogues to articulate research into performance training in all its diversity.

The journal prides itself on revealing insights into the complex and vital processes of training and their relationship to performance making, including those from the past, from the present, and speculating into the future.

TDPT is genuinely international in scope and interdisciplinary in form and focus.

Authors are encouraged to review previous articles published in the journal for examples of these insights and to assess the appropriateness of their proposal.
