“It’s extraordinary that a dance company – a contemporary dance company – has reached the age of 60 in this country,” says Daniel Riley, a Wiradjuri man and Artistic Director of Australian Dance Theatre (ADT).
“I think it’s an extraordinary testament to the form – and that form being the oldest storytelling tool that we have. There is so much to say with the body, and hence the title of A Quiet Language [ADT’s 60th anniversary production]; we can say so much without actually saying anything at all.”
