"My first experience of Milpirri was in 2009. I was taking a year off from University and had been involved in a few Tracks projects, such as the Festival show that year. I got this inkling that there was something else going on at Tracks that I didn't know about, like a special doorway that I hadn't walked through yet. I asked if I could be part of it, and the Company gave me a spare spot on the charter flight to Lajamanu to see the performance. It was like a kaleidoscope exploded in front of me; everything was so new and intense and challenged a lot about how I had experienced dance up until that point."
