Tracks’
Values |
| |
• |
We believe that each person can find
meaning in their own truth and story and those of others. |
| |
• |
We believe that the creative act is
a vehicle that facilitates the discovery of meaning. |
| |
• |
We embrace the cultural richness and
diversity of the Northern Territory. |
| |
• |
We value the knowledge that Australian
artists have drawn from European and American arts practice
however we equally value the dance/arts tradition that
is held within Australia’s Indigenous culture. |
| |
• |
We value Western, non-Western and
traditional forms of movement as a tool to create new
and contemporary work. |

• |
We value the interconnectedness of
people, place and art. |

We value the interconnectedness of
art forms. |

encourage the pursuit of excellence. |
