Description The two short works summed up the diversity of Sydney and dance at the same time...both took their thematic lead from the location...Bringing 22 students into boat people, Nepean Dance...established the contrasts between a brightly dressed scattering of
Australian residents out to party and an anxious circle of
newcomers in stained clothes.
