Dance studios in the ACT represent diverse, vibrant communities and the dances we create reveal manifold stories in motion.
These are some words from the curators of Australian Dance Week which informed this work. From here, my thoughts went toward embodied memories, how our individual qualities and stories can both separate and connect us, and being together but not uniform. While devising we played around with touch, breath, interrelationships and images. I’m very grateful for the dancers’ collaborative input throughout.
