About the Project:

In 2015, Priscilla worked with students from the Aboriginal Centre of the Performing Arts, Brisbane to create an original devised masked performance. The piece explored the company fascination of what lies beyond our universe – in the depths of the ocean and the vastness of the sky? Creating a 100% devised work, actors developed ‘other-worldly’ creates of the imagination, of a mythical, mystical landscape. As these creates adventured, journeyed, fought, danced and loved we asked ourselves the question, what in their ‘otherness’ are they really showing us about our own humanity?
