Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts (ResCen)

What is ResCen?

ResCen, the Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts, is a multidisciplinary, artist-led collaboration. It brings academia together with the professional performing arts.

Based at Middlesex University, we study the "artist at work". We examine the creative process from the first idea to the finished work. We then document and share our research with arts communities across disciplines and borders.

We also contribute to national and international debates about arts policy and strategy. Our work challenges traditional approaches to creative practice. It also redefines what it means to be an artist working in the world today.
