Description
Dalisa Pigram and Rachael Swain will explore how contemporary dance can articulate a productive, if unsettling dynamic between the past and the present in the Kimberley, while activating innovative approaches to cultural renewal through dance. This lecture examines how experimental practices in the creation of dance on country are working to re-inscribe the present so as to reimagine the future for Aboriginal people and intercultural processes of the region. Using case studies from recent works created in Broome and touring throughout the Kimberley and the world, Marrugeku’s co-directors will describe Marrugeku’s vision for contemporary dance in the Kimberley.
