Well, it has been a long first week back but I have given myself a head start on my assignments and have been enjoying the preparation for my review. I have chosen to use Bran Nue Dae for my reflective paper mainly because I feel that it is an uplifting and inspiring film, which there are little of in relation to Aboriginal cinema. Anyway, other than very much enjoying being able to watch this film again, I have also been looking at the Bangarra Dance Theatre. This has been one of the most enjoyable web searches that I have done as there is nothing but good reviews and attitudes towards these dancers. This is a link to their site..Bangarra Dance Theatre.
The video above gives you a brief idea of what the Bangarra Dance Theatre does. I have been stalking youtube and watching so many videos of the group, if you just type Bangarra Dance Theatre there are lots of videos to see.
Also just to add a bit of humour to my blog today, there is an episode of 'Kath and Kim' that features the Bangarra Dance Theatre choreographer Stephen Page, it is hilarious but I can't find the clip online! However, it is series four and the episode is called Roots. Kath finds out that her Grandmother was Aboriginal and so attempts to join the Bangarra Dance Theatre to celebrate her roots. Just a quick one today, enjoy!
