Innovation in the performing and digital arts
Overview
Our research in this area addresses the impact of new contexts and technologies across the fields of music, media arts, exhibited works, and applied performance. It investigates new forms, new approaches to performance and production, and new modes of audience engagement.
With a range of international partners, our research was ranked in the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) exercise as world standard. We have attracted over $2 million in competitive funding since 2007 from the Australian Research Council, the Australia Council for the Arts and state level funding sources.
