Funded Activity Summary

Re-Activating Australian Dance Theatre’s Archive for the Future. This project aims to investigate how the rich, vulnerable heritage of Australian Dance Theatre (ADT), Australia’s oldest contemporary dance company, can be re-activated for the future. In partnership with Indigenous leadership from ADT, it will collaboratively research Western and Indigenous choreographies to generate an innovative work. Case studies of ADT's female Artistic Directors will produce new knowledge of gender in Australian dance, and it will experiment with 3D imaging of the costume collection. Outcomes include an exhibition, dance work, film, and a networked digital dance archive. It will benefit the performing arts by producing archival resources that can be adapted across the sector to preserve Australia’s cultural heritage.
