OUR PLACE IN TIME REVIEW 2018-2019

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.
