Report 2023-24
The number of doctoral students in Music and Performance is for the 37th 38th 39th cycles of 30. The phd students of the 37th, 38th and 39th cycles regularly and profitably participated in the educational activities related to the corresponding years. There is to be emphasized an increased participation in presence in the seminars, although the possibility of following online through Sapienza's institutional channels is always kept active. It is noteworthy that part of the seminar teaching activity took place at the Nuovo Teatro Ateneo, which in a progressive way returns to being a research and teaching center for the performing arts and cinema. The presence of the Ph.D. coordinator on the University Cutural Committee for the activities of the Nuovo Teatro Ateneo has given a significant impetus to the use by Ph.D. students of the theater for dance and theater workshops and video screenings. The space policy pursued by Music and Performing Arts Ph.D has also led to the consolidation of the use of the class-room 117 in the former Vetrerie Sciarra for doctoral activities. Group work by doctoral students has developed, favored by the possibility of almost exclusive access to the room in question, where a new computer connected to the system for video projection and online audio and video has been installed thanks to an ad hoc contribution from the Doctorate of Music and Performing Arts. The collaboration with other universities (Palermo, Naples, Teramo) and the dislocation of seminar activities in different locations regarding the Music curriculum has resulted in a very fruitful mobility for the PhD students of that section as it has given them the opportunity to present their research in different academic contexts. International mobility was again promoted by the faculty this year, and PhD students' research made excellent use of these opportunities. Also for the year 2023-24, the PON and PNRR have meant from a methodological point of view a greater interaction between doctoral research and issues related to the increasingly pressing instances of technological innovation and ecology in the humanities as well. The PhD in Music and Performing Arts, engaging with these new social and cultural issues has already developed in recent years a more integrated and coherent system between pure university research and “field” activities with institutions and companies related to technological development and ecological sustainability.
