Releasing the Archive - Installation: 'Releasing Her Archive' Dance for Screen - Video and Images
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 Video Installation/Film 'Releasing Her Archive' which forms one of the outputs for this project.
