Book launch of Nature Moves – A Dance Practice in and of Nature by Elizabeth Cameron Dalman
Sunday 27 April at 2pm at Green Square and The Book Cow Kingston
Dr Cathy Adamek, Director of Ausdance ACT will launch the book, with a short dance performance by Vivienne Rogis and Peng Hsiao-yin (Grace).
Signed books will be for sale at $39.95 from The Book Cow Kingston.
Light refreshments will be served. All welcome.
Elizabeth Cameron Dalman founded Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) in 1965 and was Artistic Director for 10 years. These early years cemented her reputation as a revolutionary choreographer, earning her the title ‘Rebel of the Dance’.
In the decades since, she has continued to create innovative site-specific works, notably in the past three decades at Mirramu, the arts centre she founded on the shores of Weereewa/Lake George near Bungendore NSW.
Nature Moves documents Elizabeth’s philosophy about creating dance works in and of nature and presents in text and images many of her significant choreographies. The book is a detailed but approachable account of some of Elizabeth’s life-long work in dance, which also contributes substantially to our national dance history.
