Open Call for Researchers

Open Call for Researchers

Theatre & Performing Arts for Children & Young People (TYA)
Global, Advocacy-Focused Research
A Pilot

Introduction

As part of the ‘Building Collective Resilience’ project (which is co-funded by the European Union), ASSITEJ International is seeking 4 lead researchers to help us collect and disseminate data, information, practices, ideas, and solutions around the themes of: Access to TYA, Dissemination of TYA, Diversity within TYA, and the Value of TYA.

The research is to be advocacy-focused and useful to ASSITEJ members, National Centres, International Networks, TYA practitioners, and the wider TYA community, being published on an open access basis. It is intended to be of reference for practitioners in their day-to-day working lives to, for example, boost advocacy initiatives and funding applications, offer opportunities for learning, and to foster networking and collaboration.

This multi-pronged research project is a pilot and ASSITEJ International hopes that the learnings from this first-round will enable the association to secure future funding towards further research.

This pilot research package is to be completed between now and 31st December 2024.


Eligibility

This open call seeks to appoint 4 lead-researchers to each lead 1 of the main streams of the research package. We are seeking help from:

  • Individual / independent researchers;
  • Named individuals at research institutions (including universities, research bodies, and research agencies);
  • Named individuals within the relevant practitioner field (including artists, management, and other creative professionals).

The research will be globally focused and researchers from anywhere in the world are eligible to apply. We particularly value applications from researchers who want to engage cross-nationally with ASSITEJ members across a diversity of the 75 countries where we are represented.


Research Streams

The research package is split into five streams – this open call is to appoint one research lead per stream (with the exception of Stream 4 – see note).

1) Quantitative Access Data – An international comparative quantitative study that explores which, and how many children and young people are currently accessing TYA by: (a) investigating, collating, and interpreting pre-existing data; and (b) defining, overseeing, and interpreting the collection of new data.

2) Dissemination / Engagement Case Studies – An international comparative series of case studies exploring the habits, mechanisms, and schemes through which children and young people engage with TYA.

3) Leadership Demographics – A study examining the extent of diversity of TYA sector professionals, particularly those holding leadership roles.

4) Small Size* – Research on how small children are perceived within the field of TYA.
*This research stream is being administered by the Small Size Network and this stream is NOT part of the current call but is included here for informational purposes.

5) Value of TYA – Collated evidence on the value of TYA that curates and synthesises the existing research from across the field.

Internationale gæster til Aprilfestival 2023 – dine forslag

Internationale gæster til Aprilfestival 2023 – dine forslag

ASSITEJ Danmark inviterer hvert år gæster til Aprilfestivalen, og inviterer sine medlemmer til at indstille forslag til, hvem vi skal invitere i 2023.

Deadline er 2. februar 2023.


Hvorfor er internationale gæster værdifulde? 

Danske børne-ungeteatre har typisk 500-600 opførelser om året uden for Danmarks grænser. Internationale besøg på Aprilfestival er den vigtigste ”motor” bag denne succes, og et centralt element i internationaliseringen af vores branche i det hele taget.

De internationale besøgende på Aprilfestival oplever danske forestillinger, knytter 1:1 relationer til jer, sår frø til fremtidige samarbejder, og bidrager til en internationalisering af samtalerne under festivalen.

Jeres forslag

Bestyrelsen og sekretariatet i ASSITEJ Danmark arbejder kontinuerligt på det relationsopbyggende arbejde og har mange kontakter ude i verden, som kommer i betragtning som gæster til festivalen. Samtidig har vi også brug for, at dem medlemmerne møder på deres turnéer, på festivalbesøg, igennem projekter mv. får muligheden for at blive inviteret, så de kan komme flere danske teatre til gode.

Styrken ved ASSITEJ som en netværksorganisation er netop, at de mange projekter og kontakter medlemmerne har kan bringes sammen og komme mange til gode.

Hvem kan blive inviteret?

Medlemmer kan stille forslag om en bred vifte af profiler. Det kan være kunstnere (dansere, skuespillere, musikere, instruktører, dramaturger, scenografer mv), teaterledere, festivalkuratorer, personer fra brancheorganisationer, forskere, formidlere, unge teaterinteresserede mv.  

Hvad dækker en invitation?

Når en gæst fra udlandet bliver inviteret af ASSITEJ Danmark, indeholder invitationen

  • Altid en Delegate Package (lokal transport, international dinner, hjælp og vejledning fra sekretariatet)
  • Ofte en eller flere overnatninger på hotel
  • I særlige tilfælde udgifter til international transport

Denne prioritering laves ud fra, hvor langt gæsterne rejser, deres egen mulighed for at finansiere besøget, og generelt hvordan midlerne kan bringe flest gæster til landet. Festivalen finder i år sted 21. – 23. april 2023 i Syddjurs Kommune.

Hvordan prioriteres ansøgningerne?

Bestyrelsen i ASSITEJ Danmark prioriterer forslagene til hvem, der skal inviteres.

Der lægges vægt på at de inviterede gæster

  • kan være til glæde bredt i miljøet
  • kan åbne døren til international turné for danske kompagnier
  • har potentialet til at igangsætte eller fortsætte spændende kunstneriske samarbejder
  • kan inspirere vores hjemlige faglige samtaler
  • opnår inspiration i mødet med danske scenekunst, der kan være til glæde for deres egen praksis
  • repræsenterer forskellige faglige profiler

Send dine forslag

I skal følge dette link for at indsende jeres forlag.

Deadline er 2. februar 2023

Spørgsmål kan stilles til Louis Valente fra sekretariatet: lv@assitej.dk, tlf.: 42747707

Det internationale besøgsprogram er støttet af Statens Kunstfond.

Apply for new PhD in Theatre for Young Audiences!

Summary
There are significant gaps in the evidence currently available for understanding and evaluating the importance and value of Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA). Candidates may choose a proposal that explores Theatre for Young Audiences, Applied Theatre, Youth Theatre, Theatre in Education, and/or Theatre Education (as well as other related fields).

Led by one of the leading researchers in the field, this 3-year PhD studentship will engage with existing external partnerships (both local and international) to: a) generate evidence to develop, test and refine frameworks for understanding the value of TYA; and, b) close the gaps in the evidence for this value.

It will be aligned with a current set of research work being conducted by ASSITEJ International through the ‘Theatre & Performing Arts for Young Audiences: Building Collective Resilience’ project which is co-funded by the European Union.

Applicants are invited to define the specific focus and scope in their proposal responding to this call. It is envisaged that within an overall mixed methods design, a case study approach (however developed) would provide for analytical depth while allowing for generalisable findings, though this may be revised in dialogue between the supervisor and the successful applicant.

Details

  • This PhD studentship opportunity is titled, Evidencing Value in Theatre for Young Audiences;
    It is being offered by Ulster University in the United Kingdom, in partnership with ASSITEJ International;
  • International students from around the world are eligible to apply for the position and the connected funding;
  • Funding may be applied for that covers academic fees AND a subsistence stipend;
  • It may be possible to engage in this PhD remotely, without needing to relocate to the university campus in Northern Ireland;
  • The submission deadline is 27th February 2023;
  • The start date of the PhD is September 2023.

More Information

Further information, including funding and application details, can be found here.

Tom Maguire, Professor of Contemporary Drama and Performance at Ulster University and Chair of the International Theatre for Young Audiences Research Network (ITYARN), is also available to discuss potential applications should anyone want to contact him directly.
