Hillscape was a new work choreographed by Australian Dance Party’s Ashlee Bye with new composition by Dan Walker for Seeds of Life.
We enter the vastness of the landscape to celebrate the Sisyphean cycle of generation and regeneration. Expanding and connecting into strong networks to negotiate the precariousness of the ecosystem, we reach out of the earth to climb and tumble, to bustle and thrive.
Seeds of Life marked the ten-year anniversary of the National Arboretum Canberra, and 20 years since the devastating Canberra bush fires. The event culminated with a performance of a new work by Australian Dance Party.
