Produced in partnership by Northumbria University, Dance City and New Writing North. This artistic development day for emerging and experienced dance practitioners and creative writers offers insights into traditional and contemporary Indigenous Australian culture and dance practice, and an opportunity to explore relationships between literary narrative and dance techniques.

You will be guided in finding ways to express emotions and moods through written words and movement.
