Community Ticketing

At Bangarra, we have a long-standing commitment to sharing the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from across the country. These stories carry the strength of tens of thousands of years of culture – and it’s our privilege to continue sharing them through dance. 

Our Community ticketing initiative is one of the ways we honour our commitment to these stories. It allows us to connect with those who share the rich culture and history that is embedded in our storytelling. We are proud to offer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community members, as well as those working alongside and within First Nations communities’ access to subsidised tickets on our national tour. 

Community First

For 2026, we invite our Community to join us for our first performances of Sheltering across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane seasons. Our Community First performance includes a 'pre-show yarn' and complimentary tea and coffee; a unique and personal gathering before the curtain rises. Community members also have the chance to meet and talk directly with Bangarra’s dancers after the show. This is a special opportunity to connect, share stories, and celebrate the deep cultural threads woven through our work. 

If you are unable to make it to our Community First performance, we also offer a dedicated allocation of subsidised Community tickets throughout our Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane seasons, ensuring greater access and opportunities for Community to share in the experience of our storytelling. 

Group Bookings: Online bookings for all Community tickets are limited to 10 tickets per transaction. Please call our Box Office at (02) 9251 5333 or email [email protected] for assistance with group bookings. 

We are proud to offer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community members, and those who work alongside First Nations peoples, access to our Community Night performances throughout 2026.
