In all its forms and colours, ochre is essential to the life of Aboriginal communities. This four-part contemporary dance work \u2013 yellow, black, red and white \u2013 is a portrayal of each colour of this earthy substance, its myriad of purposes and the spiritual significance to Aboriginal people. Bangarra Dance Theatre was established in 1989 as a dance company that embraces, celebrates and respects Australia\u2019s Indigenous people and their culture. Under the artistic direction of Stephen Page since 1991, Bangarra has emerged as Australia\u2019s only national premier Indigenous performing arts company. The Sydney-based company, with 14 dancers, is chaired by Larissa Behrendt, a leading Aboriginal lawyer and academic named 2011 NSW Australian of the Year, and led by Executive Director Catherine Baldwin. Each year, Bangarra performs to approximately 50,000 people around Australia and the world and its productions are regularly sold out. At the heart of all of Bangarra\u2019s productions is the musical creativity of award-winning David Page, who is one of the most successful Aboriginal contemporary composers in Australia. David\u2019s music is the inimitable soundscape of Bangarra that lures audiences year after year. Bangarra bases its creative spirit on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander traditions and stories producing a powerful new language combining the traditional and the contemporary. This potent, original and distinctive style tells the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples unifying the past and the present.
