About
Born of Dance Clan 2023 and reimagined for a new stage, this piece explores the challenges of staying culturally and physically grounded in a world increasingly shaped by technological advancement. Keeping Grounded is a poignant exploration on our energetic connection to the earth and ancestral land. In 2026 this piece will have its mainstage premiere on the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House.
An intergenerational thread connects this bold triple-bill, Sheltering. It draws deeply from First Nations perspectives, and offering a profound journey into the intricate bonds between people and place. Rooted in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, the concept of shelter is reimagined as a sacred, transformative space: a haven of protection, connection, and the sharing of stories across generations.
Together, the three works of Sheltering engages with vital First Nations social and cultural issues, reminding us of the spirit at the heart of indigenous worldviews and the enduring connections between people, land, and spirit.
