25.01.2022 Bangarra Dance Theatre dancer Tara Gower shared her reflections as an artist finding new ways to create at this time with Guardian Australia: "The driving force that has kept me going for so long in Bangarra is creative energy. Now, it’s about sharing that energy and spreading it to the next generation so they know you can have that balance of work and creativity, and survive doing something that you love. You can rekindle your culture, learn about your body and the importance of health, and learn how to keep your culture alive within you today." https://www.theguardian.com//i-go-out-to-the-beach-to-danc

Under the vast Kimberley sky, the red pindan dust stretches across the desert homelands of the Walmajarri, where the ancient knowledge of People and of Country is preserved through Songlines that have endured for hundreds of generations. Sandsong tells the ...unique story of this Place and the survival of its People. Between the 1920s and 1960s, Aboriginal people in were removed off their Country and forced into hard labour for no wages and only minimal rations. Despite this displacement and cultural disruption, the people of the Western Desert have maintained unbroken connection to their Land, keeping stories and kinship strong. This work honours the legacy of Ningali Josie Lawford-Wolf (1967 2019) and her family - past, present and future. Created in consultation with Wangkatjungka/Walmajarri Elders from the Kimberley and Great Sandy Desert regions. Full information at https://www.bangarra.com.au/.
