Bryan Levina Viray
Bryan is a PhD Candidate at the Australian National University’s Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies under the Interdisciplinary and Cross-Cultural Research (ICCR) Higher Degree by Research Program. His research engages with critical heritage as an interdisciplinary area that intersects with public history, collective cultural memory, theatre and performance studies. Key to his PhD research question is the understanding of commemoration as a form of intangible heritage and the implications of this for collective memory. Bryan has published on: decolonizing performance pedagogies in Southeast Asia; protest performances in the Philippines, ethnochoreological / anthropological studies of dance rituals and cultural performances. He is keen to work on research projects related to cultural heritage and the consequences of its practice in various communities, arts governance and administration, cultural policy, and creative economy / industries (or orange economy).
