On this day, 26 of January, we acknowledge the traditional dancers and custodians of this land, the Arakwal people of the Bundjalung nation, along with all indigenous people across Australia. May the stories and dances of their ancestors live on, and new stories of healing and connection to land, water and spirit be created.
Bangarra Dance Theatre acknowledges the 26 January as a national Day of Mourning for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. During this time of reflection, we pay our respects to Elders across Australia for their enduring care and maintenance of Country, story and culture.
We perform on this date as a celebration of our Survival and the resilient warrior spirit, inherent in our young people who stand strong and proud.
