Description
Chapter 7, “Outback Vibes: Dancing Up Country,” explores the post-colonizing initiatives of proactive dance formations promoting indigenous justice and ecological causes within the context of a growing desire for post-settler legitimacy. In particular it addresses a theatrical and activist outback conduit for this celebratory and compassionate mobilization: Earthdream2000.
