Working with artists with a choreographic practice and an interest to engage critically with choreography, Critical Path delivered a diverse program from June 2018 – May 2019 centred on the idea of Our Place in Time – what it means as an artist to practice in Australia now, our understanding of our place in history and what this means for our future.

This review document takes a look at the activities undertaken over the 12 month period, with images and quotes from artists.

In 2018, choreographic artists Katina Olsen and Lizzie Thomson explored what it means to acknowledge Country by considering the land we live and work on, as part of a project supported by Woollahra Council and Blakdance.
