Research
Jeremy Neideck
This practice-led research investigated the negotiation processes informing effective models of transcultural collaboration. In a creative project interweaving the image-based physicality of the Japanese dance form of butoh with the traditional Korean vocal style of p'ansori, a series of creative development cycles were undertaken with a team of artists from Australia and Korea, culminating in Deluge, a work of physical theatre. The development of interventions at 'sites of transcultural potential' resulted in improvements to the negotiation of interpersonal relationships and assisted in the emergence of a productive working environment in transculturally collaborative artistic practice.
The Fabric of Transcultural Collaboration
Theatre-making in the age of #MeToo: Working cross-culturally toward a framework for making safer creative spaces
Younghee Park
This study describes a framework for creating safer, more inclusive environments for theatre-making in the age of #MeToo. The research involved cross-cultural qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with authors of theatre codes and standards from the US, Australia, the UK, and South Korea. It involved analysis of these documents and a bilingual online questionnaire targeting individual artists who have worked on their development. This research shows the positive impact that safer, more inclusive creative environments have on artists and on theatre-making processes, illustrating how cultural change might be achieved by building these spaces around a strong intersectional core.
Trans/Nonbinary Scenographics is an ongoing practice research, reflection and advocacy project, begun by M’ck McKeague for PQTalks at Prague Quadrennial in 2019, joined by cultural scenographer Dr Rachel Hann in 2022 and fellow trans scenographer Nic Farr in 2023.
Trans/Nonbinary Scenographics
The objective of this creative practice as research project is to assemble an open, dynamic, and accessible digital archive that captures the diversity of queer hopes and dreams in Australia by documenting collaborative acts of world-building undertaken by queer artists and their communities.
The key aim of Queer Horizons is to celebrate and enrich the contemporary canon of queer Australian creativity, and to chart patterns of potential for the future of life in Australia.
