AbstractHistoryArchive Description
White Face features a character named Chase. Through Chase the dance explores the issues of 'skin colour, pseudo-spirituality and embedded racist views which have inexorably informed our individual and collective self-image as Indigenous Australians.' (Gregory Lorenzutti, 2014 www.pozible.com/project/179132)
