This afternoon will see the conclusion of the 2015 Birrang NSW Aboriginal Creative Lab at Carriageworks with a Showing at 3:30pm. This creative lab saw choreographers; Ian RT Colless, Vicki Van Hout & Thomas S.E. Kelly collaborate with the Birrang cohort through workshops. The Showing will be an informal event to share with the NSW arts and culture sectors what was established during the lab. Birrang provides creative and professional development opportunities for Indigenous dance artists based in NSW. Birrang builds the capacity of each individual artist to realise their own goals, share creative ideas and practices and gain the skills and networks that will serve to strengthen their careers and the growing independent Indigenous dance sector across NSW. Birrang is supported by Arts NSW and coordinated by Ausdance NSW, Regional Arts NSW and Bangarra Dance Theatre in partnership with NAISDA Dance College, Carriageworks and the Australian Film, Television & Radio School.

Element
NAIDOC Week - AUSTRALIA
Presented by Untitled|Collective, First Peoples Advisory Committee, Blue Mountains City Council & the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre
Element was created by Gundungurra man, Ian RT Colless. It came from a First Stage Development which took place between April and May 2014; seeing Colless create the initial movement vocabulary. There were two residence periods in this First Stage of Development: first at NAISDA Dance College and second, supported through Penrith Performing & Visual Arts (PP&VA) Q Lab at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Center. This experimental period acted as a laboratory for Element later planned to become a multi-media/cross-disciplinary work.
Element will be performed in parallel with Stories from the Mountains as part of NAIDOC Celebration Day at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre from 1pm in the Gallery, information below.
Stories from the Mountains is an exhibition of work by Aboriginal artists connected to the Blue Mountains region and the stories they tell though their artwork. The exhibition includes painting, photography, video and installation. There are also several cultural objects displayed. Two of these, the Possum Skin Cloak and the Canoe, were made in workshops attended by local Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in order to facilitate cultural exchange. The other is the Scarred Tree that was removed from Belleview Park in Lawson in 2003.The Second Stage of the Development Untitled|Collective are seeking funds for, will see the score developed by the Collective’s NYC based composer Harry Stafylakis then creating the choreographic structure of the work with five dancers.

Ian RT Colless' Element Showing - Australia
Element
First Stage Development Showing - AUSTRALIA
Presented by PP&VA & Untitled|Collective
This First Stage Development of 'Element' has taken place between April and May 2014; seeing Ian RT Colless create the initial movement vocabulary. There were two residence periods in this First Stage of Development: first at NAISDA Dance College and second, supported through Penrith Performing & Visual Arts (PP&VA) Q Lab at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Center. This experimental period has acted as a laboratory for ‘Element’ later planned to become a multi-media/cross-disciplinary work.
The Collective’s future objective for ‘Element’ is to create a 30-minute modern Indigenous dance/media experiment. The goal of this work is to foster new connections that involve five dancers, media, cello, piano, and electronics. It will be structured in four modular movements, representing: Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. All these elements are strong universal characteristics of nature evident in varied ethnic-cultural backgrounds. These elements uniquely coalesce to form a new work and structure that has the influence to translate it’s storytelling to wide-ranging audiences of mixed demographics.
The Second Stage of the Development Untitled|Collective are seeking funds for, will see the score developed by the Collective's NYC based composer Harry Stafylakis then creating the choreographic structure of the work with five dancers.
