My works do not always constitute singular linear narrative perspectives. I use it as another source of commentary for understanding as I learn and appreciate the complexity, sophistication and diversity of expression. My passion to make work is driven by my continual thirst for knowledge about culture (Indigenous, mainstream, contemporary and ‘traditional’). I am an Indigenous interdisciplinary performance maker, born also into my Wiradjuri heritage where I have immediate and extended family obligations, but with a practice nurtured and consolidated within my contemporary community through my training at NAISDA (National Aboriginal/Islander Skills Development Association) Dance College. I belong to a community driven by innovation and experimentation, one that doesn’t blindly accept what is, but what is necessary and why this is so to an arts community, which encourages a discourse of relevance using the artform as the platform for debate. “AVANT-GARDE: FROM THE FRENCH, ‘ADVANCE GUARD’ OR ‘VANGUARD,’ A TERM REFERRING TO PEOPLE OR WORKS THAT ARE EXPERIMENTAL OR INNOVATIVE, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO ART, CULTURE AND POLITICS, A PUSHING OF THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT IS ACCEPTED AS THE NORM OR THE STATUS QUO IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL REFORM.” ADAPTED FROM WIKIPEDIA.
