Research environment at the Theatre Academy

The Performing Arts Research Centre Tutke, which is part of Uniarts Helsinki’s Theatre Academy, is an active community of artist-researchers.

The Theatre Academy has an international researcher community representing a wide range of disciplines and career stages. The research environment enables close interaction with staff and students in bachelor’s and master’s programmes in performing arts and writing.  

We organise the CARPA conference on artistic research, as well as other smaller-scale research events, on a regular basis. We are active participants in international research communities, especially in the Nordic countries, as well as in research communities in Finland. 

Uniarts Helsinki has several research networks around different themes as well as the Research Institute, which gather researchers from various artistic disciplines.  

Researchers can receive help and guidance from the research services team of the Theatre Academy and Uniarts Helsinki, and we support researchers by giving them access to various performance forums and publication platforms, for example.
