Platform Papers 25: Moving Across Disciplines - Dance in the 21st century (Paperback)

Brannigan examines the increasing disciplinarity of contemporary Australian dance practice and discusses local developments in the context of global trends and their history. The place of dance as a discrete discipline in both education and public performance has been hard won, she says, but now the accelerating move towards collaboration with other art forms is challenging the old disciplines and confusing the received rules of critical discourse and public funding.
