We’ve all experienced loss, haven’t we? Of a loved one, even a special thing. 

What have you found as a result of that loss? Perhaps something you never even knew existed.

"Starts With D"’s latest performance explores themes of loss and discovery through improvisational dance. 

"Starts With D" is a performance ensemble made up of students from Acacia Hill School and clients from Life Without Barriers, which provides housing and programs for adults with disabilities.

I caught up with organisers at rehearsal ahead of their performance in Alice Springs, “Somebody Everybody”.

KAT WORTH, working with Incite Arts, brings her improvisational skills and experience in inclusive dance practice...

Somebody Everybody Alice Springs

It’s time to think about these questions with a bit more depth. 

One artist, MARGARET WORTH, has been doing just that, and in the process, going back billions of years to examine the materials that brought about all life.

Her installation, called "Where are you? What time is it? How do you know?" delves into notions of cosmological time, the amazing length of human experience, and looking at the first single celled creatures to develop on earth.

I went along to the installation and talked to Margaret Worth about the generation of her art.

Where are you? What time is it? How do you know?

Eyes Too Dry - a graphic memoir about heavy feelings

Chana Salman acted on the advice of a charismatic conman and took an extraordinary risk as a young student in Paris in the 1930s. She threw away her future in her beloved France and unwittingly put her family at risk in the years that followed. The man who got her into this situation was not who appeared to be.

Chana could not have known where her decision would take her and how long she would stay. Her family’s path eventually wound around to Australia and today, weaving together the Russian, French and English fragments of her life, her descendants ask how she could have done the things she did.
