COLLISIONS is the annual festival that showcases our thriving Practice Research community at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Through COLLISIONS research degree students and creative fellows collectively engage with what it means to be researching with, through, in, and by practice and share this with a wider academic and public audience.
COLLISIONS provides an environment in which to exchange ideas through sharing our practice. We provoke and incite dialogue through a range of disciplines, methodologies, ideas and practices.
