After our most successful year ever in 2014, it’s so exciting to see the company in peak form and going from strength to strength. Now in our 26th year, we continue to grow and expand our reach both nationally and internationally.
We have a remarkable artistic leader in Stephen Page, a dance ensemble who are renowned fortheir dynamic artistry and storytelling, a committed and engaged Board led by Michael McDaniel and an incredible team who work tirelessly behind the scenes. This combination will see Bangarra achieve even greater things over the coming years.
As well as our national tour of lore, we’ll also be embarking on a regional tour to 10 locations across Queensland and New South Wales to ensure our regional audiences have the opportunity to see us perform. We’re also presenting our first-ever second Sydney season at Carriageworks later this year with a reimagining of the iconic Bangarra production Ochres. In September, we will perform in Istanbul and Paris to shine the global spotlight on our world-class company.
We’ve been able to add three trainee dancers to our ensemble, which continues Bangarra’s tradition of nurturing and developing the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent. It’s heartening to see attendances for our community outreach program Rekindling, growing annually, with the program now its in third year.
Of course, a production featuring two brand-new Australian works such as lore would not be possible without the valued support of our partners and donors. On behalf of Bangarra and our Board, thank you for helping us realise this program, and helping us share two more important Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories with a wider audience. Thank you to our main funding bodies –we are assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body; and Arts NSW, the NSW Government’s arts and culture and development body.
We hope you enjoy the program tonight.
