This practice-led research project investigates the curation of contemporary performance and performance traditions from Asian Australian artists from Australia and Asia-Great Ocean regions in various gallery and arts festival contexts. The project will examine how Asian Australian performance artists, particularly women of Asian Australian Diaspora, create performative works that shed light on submerged, traumatic histories that traverse the familial and the global. Utilising curatorial perspectives, the project asks how performance traditions are intrinsic to understanding Australia’s relations with its neighbouring countries, and how these actions, in turn, encourage critical community dialogue and the re-examination of colonial histories. Through artist-curator-researcher-dancer-choreographer interviews, this research study seeks to offer a trans-historical window through which to re-ignite and sustain connections between Australian, Asian and Great Ocean countries and communities, revealing ties across times, places and peoples, and how these traditions and connectivity are shifting with the advent of new technologies and new methods of storytelling.
