Focus on: Dance in Australia
From the editor
From where we sit with our close
historical associations and common language it might be easy to imagine
that dance in Australia would have followed roughly the same trajectory
as our own. In the series of articles curated by Kath Papas in
this issue, whilst recognising some of our common threads they gives us
an insight into how dance in Australia has found its own pathways built
on very different histories, landscapes and the cultures of its
population. I'm delighted that we can share in some of this
practice and its underpinning values and ideas in order that
individually and collectively we can reflect on our own.
This
issue also adds to the growing evidence base that demonstrates the
value of dance in a range of health contexts, dealing specifically with
work being developed across the UK with people with Parkinson's Disease
and an example of dance being used successfully with people recovering
from strokes.
