Live Interview with Laura on NR Breakfast
Listen to the broadcast here:
On Monday 7th August Laura was interviewed about the project live on Australia’s ABC national radio breakfast show.
The interview focused on the background to the dance production and the wider research project including themes of young people within the criminal justice system, ways of storytelling, and the importance of dance within First Nations cultures.
Laura spoke about how important it is for the story to be told through dance. She said that “working with NT Dance Company and the Artistic Director Gary Lang has just been an incredible experience because he has taken the story to [another] place and is delivering it in a way that I could never have done… Indigenous knowledge is bringing so much richness to this story.”
The broadcast included a sample of the music Arian Ganambarr-Pearson’s has composed for the production.
RN Breakfast continues to be hugely influential, reaching just over 300,000 listeners in the five capital cities across each week. Once you factor in its total national broadcast audience, that figure rises to around 430,000 people
This is taken from a press release the ABC put out about their programs. Once you factor in the audience who listen online/streams the RN figure reaches around 860,000 people
