      Abstract
      In this paper I explore the notion of sustainability, drawing from environmental

      policy and activism, and apply this notion to the process of dance making. I begin

      by defining sustainability, and move to exploring both the professional and

      community contexts of dance making and the practices of collaboration. In many

      ways, the motivation for this paper comes from a deeply felt concern I have

      regarding the practices of dance making in the professional dance ‘industry’,

      particularly as I have observed in New Zealand; practices which I regard as not

      only unsustainable but sometimes even harmful to dancers and choreographers.

      I begin by sharing a brief story about my experiences as a dancer as background

      to my argument.
