Pauline Manley completed a doctorate at the Centre for Performance Studies, Sydney University in 2007, in which she married the disciplines of dance and phenomenology to investigate a dancer’s consciousness. Her main interest is in teaching dance and she has studied styles from traditional Balinese to Tango, with much in between. Pauline produced the now almost legendary Continuum Dance Extravaganzas 1-5 that showcased the incredible variety of the dance world, from funk to tai chi, from burlesque to rockabilly. She writes for several magazines and remains committed to a dance practice based in improvisation.
