Regional performing arts: theory, practice and policy

SCU和NORPA将合作：利用当地的洪灾经验研究和开发一部新的音乐戏剧作品，以探索更广泛的普遍主题；举办关于这一主题的视觉作品展览；编写一卷关于该主题的论文；主办音乐戏剧理论会议并将论文出版为哲学卷；以及制定澳大利亚地区的表演艺术政策。 该项目将汇聚领先的实践者和理论家，发展长期的战略研发联盟。研究将涉及本地、澳洲及海外的学者和从业员。

SCU and NORPA will collaborate to: research and develop a new music-theatre piece using local experiences of floods to explore broader universal themes; mount an exhibition of visual works on this theme; prepare a volume of essays on the theme; host a conference on theories of music-theatre and publish the papers in a philosophical volume; and develop policy on the performing arts in regional Australia. The project will bring together leading practitioners and theoreticians to develop a long-term strategic research and development alliance. It will involve local, Australian and overseas academics and practitioners.
