Creating Art Part 1: The makers' view of pathways for First Nations theatre and dance
Australian Council for the Arts
2020
Abstract
First Nations performing arts are diverse, contemporary expressions of rich cultural heritage and powerful storytelling, knowledge and creativity.
They challenge, enrich, enlighten and entertain. They make a vital contribution to Australia’s contemporary culture, world culture and our national story.
Creating Art Part 1 is the latest study in a series commissioned by the Australia Council with the aim of supporting the First Nations arts sector to connect more Australians to First Nations arts experiences and grow opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. Conducted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the research provides vital insights that can inform the recovery and future sustainability of the First Nations arts ecology.
The research series originated with the 2013 National Arts Participation Survey which revealed a gap between Australians’ interest in, and attendance at, First Nations arts.
This report is based on research conducted by Associate Professor Sandy O’Sullivan and Dr Rebecca Huntley. Additional analysis and writing by the Australia Council for the Arts.
