Funded Activity Summary

Towards an Australian Ecological Theatre . This 3-year collaborative project aims to review the parameters of Australian Theatre and Performance Studies by reconceptualising past and present works in terms of their environmental content. The project expects to generate new knowledge of texts, scenography, attitudes to the natural world and site-specific locations of this under-recognised but vital stream of the performing arts in Australia from 1960 to 2020. Expected outcomes include an enhanced capacity to theorise and evaluate Australian Ecological Theatre and Performance. This should provide significant benefits to the discipline at the national and international level by modelling a new approach that highlights the human and environmental consciousness of the performing arts.
