Ochre Contemporary Dance Company has built a philosophy from which it forms its basis of intent, its meaning and ultimately its productions.
This philosophy, drawn from the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal community and the land, will underpin its value and its claim to build wider understanding.
The way forward is to bring Aboriginal and non-Indigenous dancers/choreographers and arts professionals together to present stories which identify who we are as humans, our heritage and our relationship to the land and each other.
The Company is deeply rooted in ‘life and heritage’ and continues to build its claim on this as a unique connection to the Western Australian story which can be told to the rest of the world in deep and emotionally charged performances that go beyond simply ‘dance and steps’ to speak to the human spirit.
