Experience unique Australian dance theatre at its best

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.
