First stop - - Cremorne Theatre, QPAC, Brisbane.

Thank you so much to the incredible QPac whānau for all of their care, support, and epic energy! Yesterday, Aunty Raelene Rallah-Baker (Yuggera, Birri, Girramay Nations) warmly welcomed the Dakota Company to Meanjin/Magandjin on Yuggera & Turrbal Country.

Opening night last night was a blast, and we are excited for the 4 schools' matinees happening today and tomorrow!

Will you help BOOST Dakota across the ditch?

Dakota of the White Flats has captured hearts across Aotearoa, and now we have the opportunity to share this story with audiences in Queensland, Australia. But getting a show across the Tasman takes more than a guitar, a suitcase, and a sense of adventure.

We are raising $10,000 to help cover the transport and travel costs that will get Dakota and the team there. Every donation helps this story travel further.

If you have ever loved Red Leap’s work, or believe in bold New Zealand-made devised theatre travelling the world, we would love your support.

You can help Dakota Fly!
