Knowledge Acquisition and Dance with Shane Carroll

Season 1, Ep. 1

On todays podcast we chat to Shane Carroll about knowledge acquisition in dance. We focus ideas involving learning about and through dance, the stigma around dance as a subject at school and fairytales that exist round the artform, as well as arts education and the art of education.


Shane has worked in a variety of fields across the dance landscape, contributing to her vast wealth of knowledge of the artform. 


Shane’s performing experience includes performing with companies such as the Nederlands Dans Theater and Sydney Dance Company and choreographers including Jiri Kylian, William Forsythe, Graeme Murphy, to name a few.  


Shane also has 20 years teaching experience with professional companies, vocational schools and tertiary institutions. Shane is a former Chair for of the Dance Board of the Australia Council for the Arts. She has also served on the Arts Advisory Council for Create NSW, and was the Chair of Critical Path, NSW Choreographic Research Centre. In 2014, Shane was part of the research team investigating the benefits of Dance for people experiencing the impact of dementia conducted by the Dementia Collaboration Research Centre and Centre for Brain Ageing.
