The Third

“Australian Dance Theatre electrified the stage”

Artshub

In Songlines, Margo Neal writes, "the Aboriginal archive of knowledge is embodied in Country. In combination with the Western archive, this knowledge creates a third archive, accessible to all."

In a sparkling work, Daniel Riley cracks open the concept of the archive - exploring the body as an archival tool where memoeries are held personally and collectively.

Frenzied and poignant, The Third sees time and space unravel in a beautifully realised exploration of how people of all cultures can co-exist on contested land, standing united as they work to preserve histories and speak across generations, cultures, time and space.

Acknowledgement of Country

Australian Dance Theatre acknowledges the traditional owners of Kaurna Yerta. We recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community and we extend this respect to first peoples across the land. We pay our ongoing respects to them, their cultures and their elders, past and present. We acknowledge the ongoing significance of dance as cultural practice, as interconnected with story, song and country.
