Strategic Focus

We aim to conform and invigorate a set of learning strategies in the field of scenic and performing arts through which we can become a leading group in the research and development of master’s and doctoral degree-level programs in this area. Additionally, we seek to foster multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity in favor of the development and innovation of scenic arts and their influence in social, cultural, economic, and political processes.

We aim to contribute to the development and qualification of formation, creation, production, and projection processes of scenic arts and performance (theater, dancing, circus, clown, performance, among others).
