Warumuk - In the Dark Night (2012)
A collaboration between Bangarra Dance Theatre and The Australian Ballet, Warumuk - in the dark night was commissioned to celebrate The Australian Ballet's 50th anniversary. Created by Bangarra's Artistic Director Stephen Page, and bringing together dancers from both companies, the contemporary dance work is inspired by Aboriginal cultural stories of the night sky: it begins with the evening star and ends with the morning star. David Page's score provides a rich mix of soundscape and orchestral instruments interwoven with Aboriginal songs and languages. This production was filmed in 2012 at Arts Centre Melbourne, with Orchestra Victoria.
