Funded Activity Summary

Transnational and cross-cultural choreographies: the politics of cultural transmission in Australian dance, 1970 - 2000. This project will highlight the rich cultural diversity of Australian dance and choreography. Its methodology will facilitate critical debate about cross-cultural dynamics in the performing arts with national and international dance artists and cultural scholars. The research outcomes will give a distinctively Australian focus to international dance studies and generate new knowledges about the recent cultural history of Australian dance. And they will give global prominence to the unique transnational influences that shape Australian culture. As a result, the project will shift dance studies in Australia from an embryonic field of scholarly interest to a significant field of cultural research.
