Over two weeks we converged on Carriageworks with 30 artists in tow, bringing together creatives from Australia, Aotearoa, Canada and Morocco as part of our Dance and Cultural Dramaturgies in Contested Land laboratory.
The practice-led laboratories explore how relationships between dance, Country, community and history can communicate with audiences through various intersections of dance and cultural dramaturgies.
Mique’l Dangeli of the Tsimshian Nation of Metlakatla, Alaska; and her son Nick Dangeli of the Nisga’a, Tsimshian, Tlingit, Haida, Gitxsan, Tsetsaut, and Colville Nations; led guest workshops for laboratory participants.
The laboratory culminated in a two-day symposium in which performance excerpts developed throughout the laboratory were shared alongside panel discussions focused on diverse dramaturgical practices examined across the two weeks.
