BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR explores the legacies and memories of our
bloodlines, our need for community, and what blood means to each of us –
questioning how this most precious fluid unites and divides us.

A choreographer, dancer and writer from the Narangga and Kaurna nations of
South Australia, Jacob Boehme was diagnosed with HIV in 1998. In search of
answers, he reached out to his ancestors. Through a powerful blend of
theatre, image, text and choreography, Boehme pays homage to their
ceremonies whilst dissecting the politics of gay, Blak and poz identities.

BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR is an unapologetic, passionate and visceral
narrative that traverses time, space and characters. A story of our need to
love and be loved, Boehme’s striking monologue reveals our secret
identities and our deepest fears, seeking to invoke ancestral lineage in a
contemporary quest for courage and hope.

*Biography *(from the Australian Council for the Arts):

JACOB BOEHME: ARTIST, DIRECTOR, AND THE AUSTRALIA COUNCIL'S NEW ABORIGINAL
AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER ARTS FELLOW

Jacob Boehme is a Melbourne born artist, director and producer of Narangga
(Yorke Peninsula) and Kaurna (Adelaide Plains) heritage.

As Past Creative Director of Melbourne's YIRRAMBOI First Nations Arts
Festival, Jacob has a 20 year history working in contemporary and cultural
Indigenous Arts sectors as a director, producer and theatre maker. Jacob
has created multi-disciplinary theatre, dance and ceremony for stage,
screen, large-scale public events and festivals.

As part of his Fellowship, Jacob will undertake a program of strategic
international residencies where he will partner with international First
Nations and non-Indigenous host organisations such as Ontario Presents
(CAN), Pulima Festival (Taiwan), and the Manchester International Festival
- MIF (UK). Here, he will develop strategic international co-commissioning
partnerships for the development & presentation of First Nations
contemporary arts.

Jacob will also deepen connections between Australian First Peoples &
international First Nations artists and organisations by establishing a
First Peoples Advisory. This is integral to his longer term aim to develop
a blue print plan for a First Nations commissioning festival model.

Jacob’s Fellowship is a focused plan of industry connection, strategic
discussions, consultation and deep listening.  He aims to increase local
and international platforms for experimental and cross-disciplinary First
Nations work as well as provide artists with greater resources to produce
ambitious works of scale.
