SILENCE tours across Australia

SILENCE from First Nations Australian company BlakDance pitched at the New York 2022 Congress. A work of contemporary dance from choreographer and performer Thomas E.S. Kelly, the piece asks what happens if one is an unwilling recipient of a history that usurped someone else's land and life? Responding to a moment of reckoning of human rights, from gender equality to colonisation, SILENCE breaks the silence and represents the worldwide call for Indigenous #landback. The stage is symbolically, slowly engulfed in dirt, as a powerful contemporary dance ensemble perform with live percussion. SILENCE is entry point to the complex political environment of the present day, universally understood as it resonates with the global Black Lives Matter movement. 

SILENCE recently completed a national tour of 19 venues across Australia and has also been invited by PAC Australia to run at ISPA Perth.
