Sheltering

Beneath the constellation of its creative and cultural legacy, Australia’s leading Indigenous performing arts company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, will present a program of three powerful works – Keeping Grounded, Brown Boys and Sheoak – which honour Bangarra’s past while looking to the future.

An intergenerational thread connects this bold triple bill, drawing deeply from First Nations perspectives, and offering a profound journey into the intricate bonds between people and place. Rooted in Indigenous knowledge, the concept of shelter is reimagined as a sacred, transformative space: a haven of protection, connection, and the sharing of stories across generations.

Together, these three works engage with vital First Nations social and cultural issues, reminding us of the spirit at the heart of Indigenous worldviews and the enduring connections between people, land and spirit.
