Goulburn Performing Arts Centre presents

The Other Side of Me by Gary Lang NT Dance Company

Produced by BlakDance

Choreographed by industry leader, Larrakia man, Gary Lang, this international, cross-cultural collaboration with Northumbria University (UK) communicates a story of the Stolen Generations. With care and compassion, it poses questions about relationships between country of origin, identity, adoption, the criminal justice system and psychological health.

The Other Side of Me translates into dance the true-life story of a young Aboriginal man, born in the 1960s in the Northern Territory, adopted by a white English family and raised in England. Stranded between two families, continents and cultures.

The Other side of Me is a powerful healing work that takes its audiences on a profound journey.

Come for the journey and see where it takes you.

“All amazing—uncomfortable feelings yes, but the ones that are so necessary to sit with even this slight glimmer into some truth.”
