Seeing the chameleon: Barriers to making dance work for independent dance creators in Brisbane

摘要

This study advances knowledge about the Australian independent dance sector and identifies barriers to making dance work for Brisbane independent dance creators, presenting a three-tier framework to systematically address and prevent the recurrence of these existing barriers. The thesis utilised a mixed methodology that generated related data, including analysis of practice, a literature and contextual review of claims about practice, and a survey of Brisbane independent dance artists.
