We receive substantial in-kind contributions that bring our total direct support, on average, to nearly $1.3 million per year, independent of ARC funding and indirect contributions.
These in-kind contributions come from from international partner universities, Australian partner institutions and industry collaborators (the National Gallery of Victoria and WA Opera).
In the next few years, we will thoroughly research the range of emotions that were, and are, represented and communicated in the performing and visual arts. The performance program will research particularly the modes of conveying these emotions in drama, art and music, through three major performance/exhibition research events
- a Baroque opera in 2015 (partnered by WA Opera)
- a major exhibition of Australias relevant pre-modern art holdings in 2016-17 (partnered by the National Gallery of Victoria)
- a performance of a Shakespearean drama (possibly 2016) in the New Fortune Theatre.
In the Baroque opera production, the Centre will foster linkages between our own expert chief investigators and leading Australian practitioners, and international practitioners and scholars in other organisations, including key experts in historic music and stage direction.
In its planned art exhibition, the National Gallery of Victoria will not only research and curate its own large and significant collection of European art works, but also collaborate with pre-eminent overseas scholars, and engage with other Australian and collections through key loans.
Practitioner-in-residence placements from performing arts institutions and galleries will enable partner personnel to develop the reflective practitioner component of their research activities with the Centre and to enhance the research synergies with our chief investigators.
