ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Drama SA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country across all South Australia and the land on which we meet. We understand and appreciate the significance of the connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the land, and that their cultural art traditions are intertwined with ancestral stories and song lines. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and those emerging.
