Identity

Choreographer, Frances Rings has earned a reputation as a leading Indigenous choreographer with her two award winning works Walkabout and Unaipon for Bangarra. Rings left Bangarra in 2005 to pursue a freelance career and was appointed to the Dance Board of the Australia Council for the Arts in the same year.

Dancer and choreographer, Anton worked with Australian Dance Theatre and has forged a strong reputation for his high octane dance works. He has made four dance films with one nominated for REELDANCE Awards 2004 and one for an Australian Dance Award 2006.

Tasdance is staging an evening showcasing the work of Frances and Anton. Each of the works reflect each artist’s perception of their unique Australian cultural identity in an intimate and very personal unveiling through dance.

A forum with choreographer Frances Rings and Annie Greig , Artistic Director of Tasdance will be held on Saturday 17 October.
