A piece for eight dancers, created to the fascinating musical composition In C by Terry Riley. The title of the piece refers to the aboriginal pathways called Songlines which makeup a labyrinth of invisible tracks that crisscross Australia carrying the myths of legendary beings wandering the land, dancing and singing the world into existence. In close connection with the musical score, choreographer Joanne Leighton sets in motion a series of perpetual movements giving rise to a ritual, a "totem in movement", leaving a visual and sonic trace. Songlines is dance as performance, but also dance as remembering, mapping and tracing a path. It is movement as language and the performance space as a landscape across which we write, rewrite and create our own stories, experiences, memories, and rituals. What contemporary totems resonate with today’s footsteps ? What traces will our steps leave upon us, and upon the land we walk ?
