This Centre will revolutionize research in the Humanities and Creative Arts by initiating innovative research collaborations across many disciplines to account for long-term changes and continuities in emotional regimes in Europe 1100-1800. For the first time we will fully analyse the social, cultural and political effects of mass emotional events. Links with cultural industry partners in art, drama and music will enable reflective performance research on communication of emotions, and illuminate the Western cultural foundations of emotions in modern Australia.Read moreRead less

This project aims to investigate the origins of live performance subsidy in Australia between 1949 and 1975, through the case study of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust. Its significance lies in challenging the accepted narrative that all Australian arts funding began with the Whitlam government. Expected outcomes of the project include scholarly publications and a policy paper, as well as public outputs such as a collection of digitised theatre scripts, staged reading performances and a podcast series. Through an enhanced understanding the pre-history of live performance subsidy in Australia, the project’s potential benefits include a reconfigured perspective on cultural history that strengthens the model of Australian arts funding.Read moreRead less
Beyond the Stage: Interpreting history through performing arts practice. The project aims to examine the ways that performance is able to shape and challenge prevailing historical narratives in times of social upheaval.
