The Other Side of Me
University of Northumbria
Introduction
The practice-led research project When Words Fail Us, Expressing the Unspeakable: The Other Side of Me, combines contemporary and traditional Indigenous Australian dance, literature and physical theatre to explore ways to communicate a true story of personal trauma that sits at the limits of linguistic expression.
Dr Laura Fish and Liz Pavey, Assistant Professors, Northumbria University, are working collaboratively on the project with Gary Lang, a Larrakia man, Artistic Director, Northern Territory Dance Company (NTDC), an Indigenous-owned Darwin-based dance company.
The Other Side of Me premieres at the Darwin Entertainment Centre, Darwin Festival, August 2023.
