The Company, on the back of their recent Australian Dance Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Company and Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer, will perform at the Orange Civic Theatre on February 17 as part of a regional NSW tour.
Featuring the full Bangarra ensemble of 18 dancers, Spirit draws from a selection of the company's most celebrated works, comprising of Brolga (Corroboree), Black (Ochres), Yellow (Ochres), Dingo (Skin), White (Ochres), Moth (Bush), Two Sisters (Bush), The Call (Walkabout), and In her Mind (Nyapanyapa).
"Dance is our medicine, a practice which connects the past, present and future through the communication, and passing on, of cultural knowledge," Bangarra Artistic Director, Stephen Page said.
"In Spirit, we will share the stories of our black experience - uncensored, raw and unapologetic. Stories which powerfully communicate the complexities, diversity and sophistication of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and philosophy."
Bangarra Executive Director, Lissa Twomey said the company was "incredibly excited" to tour regional NSW communities after not being able to perform since March.
"The disruption to our national and international touring of the past year has allowed space in our schedule to tour to communities we ordinarily couldn't get to," she said.
