ADSA is an excellent vehicle for Drama and Performance Studies postgraduate students to connect with a variety of researchers and scholars across the field. Postgraduate research can be an isolating experience, and an organization such as ADSA can assist in linking postgraduate students to other students and scholars with similar research and performance interests.

The annual ADSA conference is a chance for postgraduate students to present their current research in a supportive and stimulating environment. ADSA supports the involvement of postgraduate students in the conference and there are consistently postgraduate representatives both attending and presenting at the conference. The Veronica Kelly Award is presented to a postgraduate student for the best postgraduate paper presented at the conference.

There is a Postgraduate Representative on the Executive Committee of ADSA. This person is elected annually at the ADSA conference.

It is hoped this page of the website will continue to build to incorporate the profiles of current postgraduate students to make for easier connections across Australia and the Pacific, amongst other services.
