Releasing the Archive - Historical Resource Images

The practice-led project <i>‘Releasing the Archive’</i>, undertaken in collaboration with dance-scholar Carol Brown (NZ/AUS),<b> </b>aims to re-articulate marginalised modernist exile-dance practices and histories, with reference to the work of Austrian Jewish choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) who pioneered Modern Dance in New Zealand and Australia after 1939. It embraces trends towards somatic-informed dance practices, performance-as-archive, and the revisioning of modernist dance legacies.<br><b>This item contains historical resource images illustrating the broader historical context within which the research was undertaken.<br><br>Photographs courtesy of Margaret Michaelis and Studio D'Ora. <br><br>Dancers: Gertrud Bodenweiser, Hilary Napier, Lisl Rinaldini, Hilde Holger and Shona Dunlop McTavish. <br><br>Photographs of posters courtesy of Thomas Kampe. <br><br>Images of Hilde Holger courtesy of Thomas and Gerhard Kampe, with permission from Theatermuseum Wien and Hilde Holger Archives (Legacy Project).</b><b><br></b><b>All material used with permission.<br><br>The work is under copyright and may not be used without permission.
