Lily Potger
Company Artist
About
Hailing from Garlambirla (Coffs Harbour), Lily trained with Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London.
Their personal exploration exists in the body and its experience. They seek to explore the limits of dance within community and commons and investigate how movement as a medium can be a modality for social systems, colonialism and place — using the findings of these investigations to negate and challenge the traditional structures of formalised contemporary dance.
