While so-called classic and canonical works are regularly restaged in Australia, it’s still relatively rare to see new Australian works given a second lease of life.
While there are, of course, exceptions, far too often many new Australian works have only a brief time in the sun before they’re mothballed and the focus moves on to the next new production waiting in the wings – which makes the current remount of The Other Side of Me by Gary Lang’s NT Dance Company all the more significant.
