In 2014 I started to ‘write up’ my research on Polish migration to The North East. What I was left with, at the end of three years of long study, was a 99,000 word document that was fairly inaccessible to an audience outside the university, being both long and ‘academic’.

I then joined a ‘performing research’ group in Newcastle, where I aimed to turn sections of my thesis into a play about Polish migration in the North East.

Here’s a TED X talk all about the initiative ‘Performing Research’:

You can read more about some of the research projects turned into theatre work here: Performing Research Blog

If you would like to read sections of my play, please do ask and I will make hardcopies available.

Perhaps think about ‘performing’ your research project too; we’re open to poetry recitals, a theatrical interpretation, even dance.
