Bangarra Dance Theatre

Bangarra Dance Theatre is one of Australia's most unique and innovative dance companies, blending traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture with international contemporary dance.

On Saturday, the 9th March, the Australian Aboriginal Art magazine has launched in Alice Springs. The new magazine Australia Aboriginal Art is devoted entirely to the Aboriginal art world. Its creator Steve Bush, whose passion in art, inspired this new venture.

Central Art is excited about this magazine, as it focuses on the positives rather than the controversies about Aboriginal art. Readers will now have the opportunity to read about the artist and their work. As Steve Bush says "Its about art, the artists and their country". Aboriginal Art is culture.

During the launch the audience were treated to an outstanding performance by the Sydney based dance company Bangarra. Bangarra Dance Theatre is one of Australia's most unique and innovative dance companies, blending traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture with international contemporary dance.

Our photographer Marianna Day Massey was present at the launch and has given us permission to display some images taken during the Bangarra dance performance.
