Music, Dance and the Archive reimagines records of performance cultures from the archive through collaborative and creative research. The contributors explore modes of re-embodying archival records, renewing song practices, countering colonial narratives and re-presenting performance traditions.

Music, Dance and the Archive interrogates historical access and responses to archives by showing how Indigenous performing artists and community members, and academic researchers (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) are collaborating to bring life to objects that have been stored in archives.

It highlights the relationship between music and dance, as embodied forms of culture, and records in archives, bringing together interdisciplinary research from musicologists, dance historians, linguists, Indigenous Studies scholars and practitioners.

The volume examines how music and dance are recorded in audio-visual records, what uses are made of these records (in renewal of cultural practice or in revitalising performances that have fallen out of use), and the relationship between the live body and historical objects.

While this book focuses on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and dance, it also features research on Indigenous music and dance from beyond Australia, including New Zealand, Taiwan and North America.

Music, Dance and the Archive is an insightful culmination of original, previously unpublished research from a diverse selection of scholars in Indigenous history, musicology, linguistics, archival science and dance history.

Amanda Harris is a Research Fellow on the ARC Discovery Project 'Reclaiming performance under Assimilation in southeast Australia, 193575'. She is a musicologist and cultural historian, whose work focuses on cross-cultural engagements, histories of music and dance, and women's histories. Linda Barwick is a musicologist, specialising in the study of Australian Aboriginal music, immigrant music and the digital humanities, particularly archiving and repatriation of ethnographic field recordings as a site of interaction between researchers and cultural heritage communities. Jakelin Troy is a Ngarigu woman from the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, and Director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research at the University of Sydney. Professor Troy's research and academic interests focus on documenting, describing and reviving Indigenous languages. She is also developing research projects with the Saraiki of the Punjab and Torwali community in Swat, North Pakistan.
