Contemporary dance is one of the major vehicles through which Australian stories and cultural diversity are communicated. Little is known about the processes that underpin creation and performance of communicative dance works, and less still about processes and stylistic traditions unique to the Australian form. We will investigate cognitive and kinaesthetic processes involved in creating, refining, performing significant works. Combining experimental and practice-based research we examine psychological mechanisms engaged by elite choreographers, and experienced and emerging dancers, and analyse the unique Australian heritage and embodied knowledge evident in leading dancers and choreographers influenced by Gertrud Bodenwieser.

现代舞是交流澳大利亚故事和文化多样性的主要工具之一。人们对支撑交际性舞蹈作品创作和表演的过程知之甚少，对澳大利亚舞蹈独特的过程和风格传统更是知之甚少。我们将研究创作、提炼和表演重要作品所涉及的认知和动觉过程。结合实验和基于实践的研究，我们考察了精英编舞、有经验的舞者和新秀舞者的心理机制，并分析了受Gertrud Bodenwieser影响的主要舞者和编舞所表现出的独特的澳大利亚传统和体现的知识。
