In a new collaboration, Australian Dance Party and Gogi Dance Collective (Gold Coast) exchanged, merged and re-assembled site dance making approaches and ethics through the seeding of a new work a-bridging-place set on the HOTA ‘Green’ Bridge 2021. With provocation from Daniele Constance, Glenn Barry and Uncle John Graham and the artists centre their creative consciousness to first nations histories and audience access opportunities. We curiously unpacked the patterns, psychologies and choreographies of the bridge as a space between two ends or beginnings and places of suspended transition.
