All learnings

As the first performing arts Independent Research Organisation (IRO), RSC-lead research brings together artists, researchers, and cultural and creative practitioners to explore practice-based inquiry centred on creative innovation and social impact. As IF Fellows and collaborators’ research develops over the fellowship year, they will detail their learnings and outcomes here.

Some current areas of RSC-led research with our fellows, artists, and partners explore areas such as the social impact of practice-based pedagogy in schools, emerging immersive technologies, motion and performance capture, game engine development, and virtual production.

A further AHRC grant to upgrade facilities for creative and cultural research (CResCa) will also allow access to state-of-the-art equipment as the RSC underscores its creative research capability. An expanded in-house scope includes new immersive technologies to explore virtual embodiment via motion capture, photogrammetry, and volumetric capture, and Lidar scanning to create 3D models, harnessing emerging technologies for storytelling.
