Creating Frames: Contemporary Indigenous Theatre 1967-1990Creating Frames traces the journey behind a substantial national body of work and its importance in ensuring that Indigenous Voices are heard. Creating Frames provides the first significant social and cultural history of Indigenous theatre across Australia. As well as using archival sources and national and independent theatre company records, much of this history is drawn from interviews with individuals who have shaped contemporary Indigenous theatre in Australia - including Bob Maza, Jack Charles, Gary Foley, Justine Saunders, Wesley Enoch, Ningali and John Harding. |
