The Dreaming Project at Footscray Arts

Time. Place. Space.

Drawing inspiration from ceremony and cultural connection, The Dreaming Project celebrates multiple elements of Aboriginal dreamtime. A rich movement of storytelling led by First Nations creatives, The Dreaming Project brings together circus performance, projection art, lighting, dance and traditional practices.

Each show commences in darkness, then with a fire, gradually introducing new elements to heighten your senses. Through sound, light and performance – every detail is carefully selected, endeavouring to honour ancestry and represent the beginning of Country.

By illuminating and activating the outdoor grounds of Footscray Community Arts, Dylan Singh’s vision and creativity will breathe life into the story with a sequence of performances informed by ancestry and connection to Country. 

As you go through a cycle of interconnected and compounding stories, The Dreaming Project is a promenade performance that will transport you to otherworldly places for an unforgettable and enriching experience at Neighbourhood.

From 11 - 27 November 2022, Neighbourhood will celebrate place, community and humanity in Melbourne’s West with 18 days of heartfelt performance, exhibitions and experiences.  

This multi artform festival, co-presented by Footscray Community Arts and The Substation, beckons local residents and those from postcodes beyond to immerse themselves in a deeply-engaging program, spotlighting the communities that make up Western Melbourne’s social fabric.
