ABOUT The Green Room Awards
The Green Room Awards are Melbourne’s premier, peer-presented, performing arts industry awards. Each year, the awards recognise outstanding achievements in Cabaret, Contemporary & Experimental Performance, Dance, Independent Theatre, Music Theatre, Opera and Theatre Companies.
The awards acknowledge the contributions of the many, diverse artists and technicians who work on stage, backstage, in the grid and in the pit. An entirely voluntary organisation, members give their time to recognise, celebrate and promote the work of industry peers and contribute to a stronger, more vibrant, inclusive, innovative and prosperous industry for theatre makers and our audiences.
This year’s Awards Ceremony will be held on 16 March at Meat Market on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung Peoples of the Eastern Kulin (Melbourne).
ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE OF ME
Choreographed by Larrakia man Gary Lang, this international, cross-cultural collaboration with Northumbria University (UK) shares the tragedy of Stolen Generations through the true story of an Aboriginal man stranded between two families, continents and cultures - sharing the little known aspect of Stolen Generations, those adopted into internationally based families.
The Other Side of Me by Gary Lang NT Dance Company, produced by BlakDance.
An achingly intimate dance duet of a man’s struggle with identity, loss and otherness and the redemptive beauty of singing his spirit home.
