Dominique has a B.Ed in drama/dance/philosophy from Deakin University (Rusden) and in 2001 received first class honours for his thesis entitled “{\textquoteleft}Beyond the confines of the body…{\textquoteright} Are Waranggi masks or are masks part of what Waranggi are?”. Working, directing, devising and performing with masks led to his Ph.D. thesis and film at ANU entitled “masked corroborees of the northwest”. The thesis is grounded in northwest Australia looking at a range of corroborees that incorporate the use of masks. The research and film looks at performance objects that connect bodies to country, cultural knowledge and ancestors. Masks also reaffirm the political status of people in their country.",
