In Australian Dance Theatre’s 60th year, Artistic Director Daniel Riley creates a continuum between this iconic company’s game-changing beginnings and its bold collective future with A Quiet Language.

Against a backdrop of social upheaval and protest, Elizabeth Cameron Dalman OAM founded Australian Dance Theatre to expand the horizons of contemporary dance. Now, the company fearlessly examines its legacy and the history of Australian dance as it is held in the body and written across the country upon which we tread.

A Quiet Language stretches Australian Dance Theatre’s artistry across time, space, culture and place, transmuting the rebellious energy of the company’s early days into an electric new era.

Experience this living archive of movement that sees Australia’s oldest continuing contemporary dance company embrace cultural change, interrogate its past and reach into the future.
