Raygun is now Australia's most famous dancer. What does she reveal about our attitudes toward dance?
"Why do Australians feel that dance is mainly for performance, rather than participation? We get up and sing tunelessly at karaoke, but shy away from dancing in public. The most recent arts participation report from Creative Australia shows that while one in six Australians engage with music, only one in ten Australians regularly dance. It seems we’re just not a nation of recreational dancers."
Perhaps toxic masculinity?
Raygun is now Australia’s most famous dancer. What does she reveal about our own attitudes towards dance?
Raygun has forced us to focus on many aspects of dance that are often ignored in Australia, including the role of dance in communities and the politics of dance.The Conversation
