Overview
Best Ballet or Dance Work
2004 Helpmann Awards
Stephen Page’s spellbinding work Bush is inspired by the Dreamtime creation stories of Arnhem Land.
From the last breath of sunset to the first finger-light of dawn, the audience enters a mysterious and secret space - reptilian creatures slither from dark caves, a moth emerges from its cocoon, the land erupts pushing up mountains and carving waterholes - the world is being born.
Bush is a lush and hypnotic celebration of dance, ritual and music.
