Routledge Performance Archive

Routledge Performance Archive (RPA) is a constantly growing teaching and reference resource that is produced in partnership with Digital Theatre. It allows unique access to a carefully selected range of audio-visual material from past and present practitioners of theatre, performance, dance, and choreography.

The content on RPA is a mix of workshop footage, full length productions, interviews, documentaries, and lectures. RPA spans contemporary performance, theatre history, actor training and non-western performance forms.
