For more than three decades, Bangarra Dance Theatre has been sharing powerful First Nations stories through movement and music. Now, this performing arts company returns with Sheltering – a triple bill that celebrates connection, community and Country. Running at the Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House from June 3-13 as part of its national tour, Sheltering brings together three distinct works.
The program opens with Keeping Grounded, choreographed by Indjalandji-Dhidhanu and Alyawarre woman Glory Tuohy-Daniell, a thought-provoking exploration of our spiritual connection to the earth and land in an increasingly technology-driven world.
Next is Brown Boys, a visually striking film by Daniel Mateo and Cass Mortimer Eipper. Inspired by Mateo’s own poetry and experiences as a Gamilaroi and Tongan man, the work explores identity, belonging and cultural connection through a deeply personal lens.
Completing the trio is Sheoak, choreographed by Bangarra Artistic Director Frances Rings with music by the late David Page. Inspired by the resilient sheoak tree, the acclaimed work reflects on strength and cultural identity.
Together, these three works invite audiences to experience Indigenous history and creativity through extraordinary artistry. Book your tickets here.
