Assemblage secures the only Performing Arts Discovery grant in latest ARC round.
Professor Chris Hay's research project The Critic Counts: Archiving Theatre Criticism Down Under has been awarded an ARC Discovery Grant ($539,661), announced this week.
This was the only grant success nationally in the Performing Arts field of research, confirming Assemblage’s nationally leading profile in creative practice research.
The project aims to create a sustainable online archive of theatre criticism in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
This archive will create an invaluable resource that will re-centre under-represented narratives and identities in national theatre histories. This research will document a new perspective on the development of distinctive national theatre cultures down under. The impact of this work will include rich insights into the figure of the theatre critic and evolution of the critic down under, an open-access directory of critics, and timely preservation and dissemination of national cultural history. Congratulations, Chris!
