Summer Dance
Rites
This weekend features the work of Australian choreographer Stephen Page, artistic director of the Aboriginal contemporary company the Bangarra Dance Theatre. This opening presentation is their interpretation of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, performed together with the Australian Ballet, which fuses traditional Aboriginal dance with modern stylings and seeks to capture the spiritual essence of the four elements - earth, wind, fire and water.
