Another benefit of original works as undergraduate research is the dovetailing with an entrepreneurial perspective that can empower students to create and disseminate their creative output with the dynamics of the economies of artistic practice at the forefront of their experience. Now is the time to promote the performing arts as training ground for performing arts majors and non-majors to gain the skill -sets needed for creative industries and cultivate cultural literacy by engaging in performance as research.

The case studies in this chapter explore both the theory and practice of undergraduate research. Kathy L. Privatt describes how engaging students in a dramaturgy project of their own choice has been a fruitful model of individual research. Malaika Sarco-Thomas illustrates the benefits of integrating theory and practice in a dance project that gives undergraduates the framework in which to pursue their own research project.

Call to action: Administrators must advocate for tenure and promotion guidelines that fairly recognize the creative activity of faculty as research, and performing arts faculty must ensure that representation on tenure and promotion committees includes performing arts faculty whenever possible.
