NAISDA’s performance, ATI debuts at Carriageworks, Sydney on 21 and 22 July. NAISDA Head of Dance and ATI Director Deon Hastie spoke with Trevor Tim on National TalkBlack recently about the show.
Enjoy the wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from the meaning behind ATI to how NAISDA Dance College originated and the impact it has had on many lives since then.
“ATI means Journey in the Meriam Mer language of the Torres Strait. The show will take you on a journey through some moments of trauma, we have some real difficult things we explored…But the idea of the journey is that we come out the other side and that’s the resilience and culture that pulls us through.”
Tickets to ATI – A Dance Reckoning of Truth, Place and Belonging are on sale now via Carriageworks.
