Description
Co3 Contemporary Dance presents ARCHIVES OF HUMANITY screening.
In February 2021, Co3 Contemporary Dance presented ARCHIVES OF HUMANITY at the State Theatre Centre of WA. Devised and directed by Artistic Director, Raewyn Hill and commissioned by Perth Festival, it celebrated community and explored ways individuals respond and care for each other in a crisis.
It featured an inter-generational cast of 21 dancers plus a remarkable set of over 1500 fabric birds hand-made by members of our WA community using their own recycled clothing.
The intent was to collect from individuals their written stories reflecting the life of the garment, immigration and isolation during the evolving pandemic. The stories were then displayed on a wall for audiences to read as they entered the performance and the birds united, soared above as a collective symbol of endurance and hope.
Through Co3's free touring program called Under the Same Sky, Margaret River audiences will have the opportunity to attend a free screening of this highly acclaimed world premiere production, ARCHIVES OF HUMANITY.
Bookings are essential via the Arts Margaret River website.
