  • The Relevance of Dance Performance in the Tertiary Education Sector in Australia
    THE RELEVANCE OF DANCE PERFORMANCE IN TERTIARY EDUCATION: AN AUSTRALIAN WORK-BASED PERSPECTIVE. Exegesis submitted by Adele Hyland AM (BEd., Grad. Dip. Computer Studies, MEd.) For the award of Doctor of Professional Studies 2018 Abstract This study and included artifact (i.e. course of study) aims to support the inclusion of dance as a legitimate area of academic study in the higher education sector and to develop an undergraduate dance performance course to include dance genres other than ballet and contemporary dance. Additionally this study recognises that dance may be legitimately categorised as a recreational activity, a sport and/or an art form depending on the intent and level of expertise of the performer. As an outcome the study presents an undergraduate dance performance course tested against the requisite Australian Qualifications Framework Level 7 criteria. The course aims towards developing dance professionals who have the skills and knowledge to pursue dance performance careers as well as related career paths and in a variety of dance genres and dance sector professions. The motivation of the project stems from an aspiration to utilise a work-based research study to further develop opportunities for dance studies within the higher education sector. Reflective practice, and subsequent research, led to an awareness of a view shared by a number of academics encountered that dance is somewhat subservient to other academic disciplines. This view holds significance for performing arts education generally and particularly for dance education. This study offers discussion on the history of dance as an academic discipline as well as providing a personal perspective on the development of dance education in Australia.
