The practice-led project ‘Releasing the Archive’, undertaken in collaboration with dance-scholar Carol Brown (NZ/AUS),aims to re-articulate marginalised modernist exile-dance practices and histories, with reference to the work of Austrian Jewish choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) who pioneered Modern Dance in New Zealand and Australia after 1939. It embraces trends towards somatic-informed dance practices, performance-as-archive, and the revisioning of modernist dance legacies.
This item contains documentation of the screen based installation 'Displaced/Displayed: re-enacting dances of migration' which forms part of the output for this collection.
The installation was premiered as an 8 meter high installation over 30 screens on the Media Wall of Bath Spa University on the 15th of March 2017.
