Bangarra Dance Theater 2011





I always look forward to the following year's performance of Bangarra at QPAC because I know that it will be unbelievable. And this year, it was one of the most fabulous dance performances I've ever seen from Bangarra Dance Theatre!





On a human scale, choreography enhanced by good lighting, an exquisite wardrobe displaying an efficient range of subtly colour-degraded shades, the whole sets, the screens, the music was as i expected above the norm.



Brilliant, full of sensitivity and expressiveness, this show, with its cast of amazing dancers, reaches a high degree of true poetry in movement.





BRAVO!!!!!!!





Until next year....
