Every part of Australia is,
always was and always will be,
Aboriginal land.

As a community gathering-place, a festival of arts, cultural exchange and celebration and as a site for the sharing of ideas and stories, Ten Days on the Island pays respect to the Palawa/Tasmanian Aborigines – The original owners and cultural custodians - of all the lands and waters across Lutruwita/Tasmania upon which our Festival takes place.

With thanks to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for place names and other words in palawa kani, the language of Tasmanian Aborigines.

Multi Story is a show re-told in our own language – leaning into humour, politics and poetics the intimacy of genuine connectedness and the comedy of communication that misses a beat.

Multi Story invites audiences to explore the three floors of the Launceston Library, discovering new ways to connect to storytelling, experiencing intimate tales in small clusters, as well as witnessing site specific dance at its best.

Come for an intimate journey with young Tasmanian dancers, exploring body language, spoken and unspoken communication, language construction and destruction.

This work has been developed with the artistic support of Choreographer Kyall Shanks along with additional guest collaborators and artists; Anna Seymour, a bilingual (Auslan/English) and proud Deaf woman with passion for her community, culture and language; palawa woman Denni Proctor, a singer-songwriter, dancer, actor, teacher and activist; and Yyan Ng, a multilingual musician living in Launceston.

In usual Stompin style the audience will be asked to sit, stand and move through the site – so leave the stilettos at home! This show is fully accessible; there will also be sensory friendly performances offered.
