If only they could talk - Choreographed by Gülsen Özer with dancers: Abi Li Zhen, Caroline Ellis, Viv Rogis.
Lucky are we that walk this place high up.
We go below, to the creeks our teacher.
Our backbones bend, Learning the seasons.
Garlands of purple violets and kangaroo apple blossoms.
This work was programmed as part of Dancing Place: Corhanwarrabul; performances, walks and workshops at sites of Kalorama, Mt Dandenong and Mt Corhanwarrabul and curated by Gretel Taylor.
Opened by a Welcome to Country by Wurundjeri Head Man, Murrundindi, and with a place consciousness grounded in Indigenous presence, Dancing Place: Corhanwarrabul introduces locals and visitors to diverse modes of performance in relation to place.
