Bangarra

Just got home from seeing this wonderful group perform. This is the best live stage show I have ever seen. Lord of the dance with Micheal Flattely comes a dull second.

It creeps up on you and before you know it there are the shivers the tears and lots of emotions fleeting by. Most of the dancing horizontal to the ground, the music haunting, props simple but complex at the same time. Themes such as blankets, busted car turned on its side, use of sticks, huge elastic bands and the gliding scene of water was indescribable.

Costume simple and tasteful, no actual "star soloist" keeping with Indigenous culture. No rampant sexuality. If I had to use two words to describe it it would be energetic harmony. So gentle but strong.
