Dialogues: Dance, Climate and Contested Land - Marrugeku (Australia)

Marrugeku’s co-artistic directors Dalisa Pigram (Yawuru/ Bardi/Malay/Filipino) and Rachael Swain (Celtic-settler) propose to share methodologies to embody and investigate the implications of climate justice for choreography and dramaturgy: Dalisa Pigram and Rachael Swain will introduce Marrugeku’s approach to dance and cultural dramaturgies in contested land that underpins their body of work. Together they will share Marrugeku’s intercultural choreographic truth telling practices co-created by diverse Indigenous and settler artists working together on contested land. They will introduce working through a diversity of platforms and methods to activate the interface of dance, land, colonial aftermaths, resource extraction, Indigenous knowledges and diverse communities, in order to make visible alternative futures
