Bangarra Dance Theatre at Sydney Opera House

• Keeping Grounded, choreographed by Glory Tuohy-Daniell, explores First Nations peoples’ enduring connection to Country, ancestry, and the lands that shape cultural identity.
• Brown Boys, a powerful dance work by Daniel Mateo and Cass Mortimer Eipper, examines themes of identity, belonging, and cultural connection through the experiences of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
• Sheoak, created by Frances Rings with music by the late David Page, reflects on resilience, cultural identity, and the profound relationship between people and Country.
• Together, these three distinct works form Sheltering - a moving celebration of First Nations perspectives, storytelling, and the connections that bind people, culture, and place.
