Bangarra Dance Theatre Australia

Since 1989, Bangarra Dance Theatre has captured audiences both in Australia and internationally with its interpretations of Aboriginal culture and connections to country.

Named after the Wiradjuri word meaning 'to make fire', Bangarra Dance Theatre is Australia's most renowned Indigenous dance theatre company. Fusing traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dance, song, story and culture with contemporary modern dance, Bangarra has been fuelling the growth of Indigenous contemporary work from the day it sprouted as a young, community-based dance company in inner Sydney in 1989
