Dance Lineages 2 is a continuation of the unique “embodied” approach and research into the diversity of Australian contemporary dance practice, established in Dance Lineages 1. Students investigate and analyse the background, influences, histories, physicalities and aesthetics informing Australian dance artists today in the context of broader regional, and global trends. Key concepts and philosophies including romanticism, classicism, modernism and postmodernism inform students’ research and performative presentations of excerpts of seminal Australian dance works from the 20th and 21st centuries.
