The papers of the 2014 World Dance Alliance Global Summit are now available online, on the Ausdance website. Entitled "Contemporising the Past: Envisaging the Future", the 31 refereed papers profile current dance research from 13 countries. Written by artist/scholars and artist/teachers, the articles have a strong emphasis on interconnection between theory and practice, and how past/present intersections inform the future.
Australian universities supporting artists, teachers and scholars represented in the proceedings include Queensland University of Technology (Csaba Buday, Evan Jones, Clare Dyson, Cheryl Stock, Erica Rose Jeffrey); Edith Cowan University, Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (Lucinda Coleman, Min Zhu, Maggi Phillips); University of Melbourne (Anny Mokotow); University of Technology Sydney (Benedict Anderson); and University of South Australia (Jeff Meiners).
