Join us for our free webinar Music Dance and the Archive: Embodied Research and the Limits of the Archive with editors of Music, Dance and the Archive, Amanda Harris, Linda Barwick and Jakelin Troy.
The volume Music, Dance and the Archive (Sydney University Press, 2022) reimagines records of performance cultures from the archive through collaborative and creative research. Editors Amanda Harris, Linda Barwick and Jakelin Troy bring together performing artists, cultural leaders and interdisciplinary scholars to highlight the uses and limits of archival records of music and dance.
