The Aboriginal Dance Theatre: Christine Donnelly

“Bit of respect.” Christine Donnelly, a veteran of the Aboriginal dance world, believes in the power of creating and letting all Aboriginal people dance in their own way, be that traditional or contemporary. In 1995 the ADT held their first National Aboriginal Dance Conference at The Powerhouse Museum; they’re now having their 7th. Includes footage of a dance theatre class in progress.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
