Brolga 35
This significant issue of Brolga publishes eight papers from a conference held at the University of Otago in June 2010. The focus of the conference was discussion around interdisciplinary perspectives on dance that strive to both understand historical develeopments and to anticipate new directions of dance scholarship and performance.
Articles
