Description A movement based collaboration between members of the Aboriginal and Islander dance Theatre and Sidetrack Performance Group, Frontier Stories makes its audience laugh uproariously while it ranges over a host of solemn and sensitive topics an an exuberant, irreverent way.... The best of the nine vignettes-like tracks from a CD as a program note describes them- are those that combine performances from both groups, which happens to be most of them.... if shared laughter is one route to reconciliation the stated purpose of Frontier Stories themes have gained some territory for those who have the pleasure of seeing it over the next few weeks.
