ATSI Dance Residency at PICA

STRUT Dance in partnership with Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) offer a one-month residency at PICA + $5000 artist fee for an Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander based in WA.

The residency is designed to support an artist to delve into their dance practice with dedicated time and space to experiment with ways of working, prioritise artistic research and undertake creative risk-taking. This could include the development of a work if desired by the artist.

(Malgana Yamatji)

I’m excited about the opportunity that this residency poses for me to delve deeply into ideas that have been brewing within, especially in light of recent referendum outcomes and flow on effects. I firmly believe in the power of the arts to drive social change, reshape perspectives, and enable communities to tell their stories.

When creating, I enjoy working with text, connecting thoughts, audio and visual provocation, task-based approaches, and storytelling. My practice thrives in a state of flow, where I am fully connected to my spirit, the land, and the people I am with.
