Since the “qualitative revolution”, qualitative approaches have been growing in cultural and social sciences. They have now taken a performative turn, caused in great part by the “politics of discourse” or the “politics of interpretation.” It means drama/theatre education research has changed. The International Drama in Education Research Institute (IDIERI) is attempting to bring the heritage of drama/theatre education into performative qualitative research. It promotes the crossover of research, education and art making.Here, several research methodologies in drama/theatre education are examined individually, such as ethnography, performance ethnography, case studies, historical research, action research, experimental research, reflective practitioner case study, as well as arts-based and arts-informed enquiry, narrative enquiry and mix and meta methods.Finally, methodological issues in drama/theatre education research within Japan are considered. Drama/theatre education is predicted to shift its focus of inquiry through praxis. Theoretical models will be constructed, contributing to arts and advocate praxis itself. Academic communities of drama/theatre education need to be more flexible so as to accept these various styles of presentation, including workshops and performance. The future of drama/theatre education research is explored by making performative connections between research, societies and people through research collaboration, practitioners and artists in academic communities.
