Arts Education 2016 Welcome to our annual arts education feature, an informal survey of issues, courses, teachers, works and students over coming weeks. As a prelude, WAAPA’s Jonathan Marshall reports on the 2016 Performance Studies International Conference hosted by the University of Melbourne and Rennie McDougall at NYU addresses the complexities of positioning himself as a critic, reflected in Sally Smart’s The Choreography of Cutting (above). In our next E-dition Erin Brannigan describes the workings of her new Reviewing the Arts course at UNSW and Christopher Ryan reflects on the nurturing of performers at the University of Wollongong. Join us in this celebration of the making of a new generation of artists.
