BORDER
LINES
“A brilliant double bill, each piece its own small festival highlight.”~ THE DAILY REVIEW
Artists SARAH-JANE NORMAN & NACERA BELAZA
DANCEHOUSE’s biennial Dance Territories
program pairs an Australian and an
international artist to explore the subtle
connections ignited when their works collide.
The 2016 theme of BORDER LINES sees two
artists question the boundaries between body
and place in relation to the political and the
personal implications of migration, dislocation,
circulation and invasion.
Indigenous Australian artist Sarah-Jane
Norman’s live art installations In the River’s
Children and Take this for it is my body dissect
Presented in association with DANCEHOUSE
the impact Australia’s colonial history has
had on the artist’s own body, offering incisive
moments that unsettle the safety of historical
distance. Norman’s work traverses artforms,
inviting us to take our place in shared
narratives.
Algerian-French choreographer Nacera Belaza
brings to Melbourne her seminal piece THE
SHOUT, performed with her sister. This duet
observes the intersection of globalisation and
sacred ritual. In Belaza’s words, “the scream is
when the anchor does not let go.”
