Dolgoji, a theatrical company run by the School of Drama, is a central part of the School of Drama dedicated to practical education. The relationship between the School and Dolgoji can be compared to that between a medical school and its university hospital. Dolgoji contributes to the world of performing arts through well-produced and thoughtprovoking works, using the outstanding experts (faculty and professional staff) and spaces of the School of Drama. It provides an opportunity for many people to enjoy culture and arts by performing a diverse repertoire in local communities and culturally underprivileged areas, which makes for an education that is high on impact. Performance is at the heart of the Dolgoji way, and it expressly seeks greater interaction with drama schools around the world, in addition to the core set of affiliated theatrical companies. Dolgoji has been invited to give performances at many world-renowned performing arts festivals and organizations, producing global PR effects and playing a key role in expanding cross-industry cooperation between the School and its graduates.

Since 2013 the Deptartment of Theatre Studies of K-Arts has participated in International Asian Theatre Studies Conference every year, working closely with outstanding theatre schools in East Asia: the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Osaka University, and Taipei National University of the Arts. This academic conference aims to study and exchange Asian theater studies in a global perspective rather than Western-centric point of view.

Department of Theatre Studies publishes the ‘Theater Forum’, an annual journal specializing in the theater. As an academic and critical theater journal, the Theater Forum aims to foster the activities of undergraduates and graduates through research papers, original plays, and interviews with theatre experts.
