Dance in Contested Land

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of dance and Indigenous culture, the book explores the collaboration between the intercultural dance company Marrugeku and the Yawuru, Bunuba, and Nyikina peoples of Australia. It delves into how Indigenous ontologies influence ecological perspectives in dance, addressing themes of colonialism and capitalism. Through the lens of choreographic interactions among Indigenous, settler, and European artists from 2012-2016, it highlights significant projects, including the work of dancer Dalisa Pigram.
