Spirit
Spirit takes audiences into a mysterious and secret space to witness nature’s sacred poetry. This special work speaks of our unique country and the First Nations cultures that have worked with it and from it, in reciprocation, for millennia.

About
Set to a beautiful and haunting score composed by David Page and Steve Francis, Spirit is a lush and contemporary celebration of beauty, ritual and music. From the last breath of sunset to the first finger-light of dawn, the audience enters a mysterious and secret space to witness nature’s sacred poetry.
In a series of shifting incarnations, Spirit has been performed to audience and critical acclaim across the world. This is a true celebration of Australia’s rich culture and history, fused with outstanding dance technique.
Spirit premiered in 2004 and has since has toured extensively in many iterations.
