Following the extraordinary success of their 20th anniversary
tour in 2009, Bangarra Dance Theatre leaps into the next 20 years
with a stunning new double-bill.
Always innovative and exciting, Bangarra presents two stories
hailing from the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people, who originally lived
in the Bathurst region of New South Wales.
Rejoining the company is highly regarded choreographer Frances
Rings, who first made the move from dancer to creator with the
company's Walkabout in 2002 and more recently conceived
half of the double bills True Stories (X300) and Clan
(Unaipon). This year, Bangarra is excited to introduce the new
choreographic talents of Canberra's own Daniel Riley McKinley,
making his debut with this work.
Building on Bangarra's long established reputation for producing
excellent and moving work, both of these Indigenous artists will
explore the traditions and song lines of their heritage in a work
that is sure to inspire and enthrall.
