Science and Artistic Rationale:

In our 2024 AAAS/Science Magazine Dance Your Ph.D. Contest submission: we explore kangaroo behaviour through dance and promote diversity. The performance, "Kangaroo Time", is based on my PhD field research at Wilsons Promontory National Park, Australia, conducted at the Australian National University in collaboration with the University of Sherbrooke, Canada.

My thesis, "Personality, Social Environment, and Maternal-Level Effects: Insights from a Wild Kangaroo Population", is accessible here: https://openresearch-repository.anu.e.... I am honoured to have worked under the expert supervision of Prof Loeske Kruuk and Prof Marco Festa-Bianchet.

We delve into animal personality, defined as consistent behaviour that distinguishes individuals, and social plasticity, the extent to which behaviour changes in response to the social environment. We explain how personality traits and social environment influence kangaroo behaviour, including responses to stimuli like a remote-controlled car, and we demonstrate the role of personality on social dynamics.

The diversity of the dancers, ranging from classical to urban styles, reflects the variations in kangaroo personality, e.g. bolder to more shy. These dancers, unchoreographed, improvise their movements, responding to cues and interacting with each other. The dance thus serves as a visual narrative, capturing how kangaroos react based on their instincts and social context.

This approach demonstrates that kangaroo decisions are a complex interplay of intrinsic tendencies (personality) and social awareness, leading to adjustment (plasticity). I hope this performance makes the scientific concepts accessible and engaging for the audience.

I completed my PhD at the Australian National University, Canberra, in 2021 and worked as a Research Officer. Now, I'm pursuing music, having released my debut EP, "Yours Academically, Dr. WELI", and the single "Kangaroo Time (Club Edit)," featured in the video. This project represents a fusion of my scientific work and my foray into performance and creative arts, combining animal behaviour with artistic expression.
