| Description |
A choreographer, dancer and writer from the Narangga and Kaurna nations of South Australia, Jacob Boehme was diagnosed with HIV in 1998. In search of answers, he reached out to his ancestors. Through a powerful blend of storytelling, projection and movement, he pays homage to their ceremonies whilst dissecting the politics of gay, Blak and poz identities. Blood on the Dance Floor is an unapologetic, passionate and visceral narrative exploring the legacies and memories of our bloodlines, our need for community and what blood means to each of us. |
