Briwyant
Briwyant is a uniquely creative take on traditional knowledge, meaning and spirit.
Overview
Turning traditional painting into modern dance, Briwyant draws on bir'yun as a resource in the work. This form of Yolngu traditional painting works with intricate crosshatching patterns, creating a shimmering sense of movement on its surface. This movement is representative of ancestral forces, subtle yet woven throughout. It all sounds conveniently appropriate for transformation into movement.
The collaborative team, with Vicki Van Hout at the helm, plays on the tensions between personal and community knowledge, light and shadow, and changes over time. In short, Briwyant is a uniquely creative take on traditional knowledge, meaning and spirit.
