Bangarra's exciting blend of physical artistry and breathtaking visuals, Clan is
dance theatre at its most captivating.
UNAIPON
Frances
Rings' Unaipon (pronounced You-nigh-pon), the
sell out success of the 2004 Adelaide Festival, is inspired by
the life and vibrant intellect of Aboriginal inventor, writer and
philosopher David Unaipon who is featured on the Australian $50
note. Distilling his passion and vision, Frances
Rings has created a thrilling, high energy dance work.
Reflections

of the award-winning choreography of Artistic Director, Stephen
Page. Excerpts from milestone works such as Ochres, Fish and Skin are
woven together into one sensual and emotive theatrical experience. Reflections showcases
the unique choreographic style which has earned Stephen
Page and Bangarra such outstanding national and international
acclaim.
