Dance & Performing Arts Laboratory

Centres on bodies, movement, roles and live relationships, connecting dance, theatre and stage practice across media. Rehearsal observation, creative experiments and performance analysis explore expression, collaboration and the relationships between stage space, technology and audience experience.

Research & creative directions

• Choreography and bodily expression: movement, rhythm, improvisation, embodied memory and creative structures.
• Theatre and character: text interpretation, voice, character development and collaboration among performers.
• Stage space and cross-media performance: lighting, sound, images and interactive technology in live work.
• Documentation and audiences: rehearsal records, performance analysis, liveness, participation and viewing experiences.
