Dancers of Damelahamid: Mînowin
Small Scale Investment.
​
Supported supported by The Cultch, the National Arts Centre, DanceWorks and Neighbourhood Dance Works. Mînowin is a multi-media dance work integrating narrative, movement, song, performance and multimedia design, connecting to landscapes from contemporary perspectives of customary Indigenous dance forms. Mînowin describes how we clarify directions, as we recover and reinterpret the teachings that define and redefine who we are, and that are accessed through story, dance and song. The piece will explore the moments where we connect with one another, moments that bring new life into our artistic practices, the upheaval and rebalancing, and places of renewal for each generation as we redefine ourselves.

Kidd Pivot: Revisor (working title)
Large scale investment

Supported by Dance Victoria, Danse Danse, DanceHouse and the National Arts Centre. Revisor (working title) is a new dance/theatre hybrid choreographed and directed by Crystal Pite and written by Jonathon Young, based on Inspector General by Nikolai Gogol. Revisor (Working Title) is an adaptation of Inspector General in the traditional sense. Gogol’s farce will be one aspect in a polyphonic work: they will use it to establish the status quo of a multifaceted theatrical landscape, a landscape occupied by farce but resistant to its status as the dominant form.
