I am a dance junkie, balletomane, and lover of all performance art... watching the documentary Ballerina (2018) introduced me to bangarra and brought me here! I am a subscriber now and am so excited to find such a beautiful expression of humanity in art. keep up the great work!!! I cannot wait to share what i find and learn about this art form!

Magnificent!

WOW!.....WOW!!!...WOW!!!!

[@blackberrybunny]

This was wonderful and a real treat to watch and listen to. Can someone please tell me what this dance is all about? Which animals? Or beings? I don't know anything about life in Australia or New Zealand, but I want to learn. I thought the dancers moved like fish at some points, and like birds at others. I really don't know how to interpret dance at all. I know it has to be more objective than subjective, correct?

Hey, hopefully this link will give you some more info: www.bangarra.com.au/media/k5nhfpqm/brolga_5-6.pdf
It is about the brolga bird. The human girl at the beginning is amazed by the sensuality of nature. She learns from their movements and joins the birds in their dance to convey a sense of unification between humankind, animals, and nature. It also demonstrates affirmation of identity within Aboriginal clans (in my opinion). :) I highly recommend reading the document above!

The benefits of cultural appropriation

[@sylvianulpinditj4133]

It's supposed to be Brolga dance but their mixing up other bird sounds and making up movements not right should just stick to one idea, when we look at this it's got no meaning. Yolngu people should just stick to what we do and keep it within our boundaries.

[@miajohnson2326]

just because you don't understand it doesn't mean you should tear other peoples creative works of art to pieces. No one asked for your opinion. If you don't have anything nice to say... don't say it at all.

[@sylvianulpinditj4133]

@@kuzeyarenkesim1977 the reason why I said what I said is that I can recognise some movements that are part of our bungul and even the last song is yolngu manikay, which are yolngu intellectual property that is being misused and I don't think nobody come around to consultant yolngu elders and leaders for proper permission in that ok!

[@sylvianulpinditj4133]

@@kuzeyarenkesim1977 then why do you think I said what I said. I'm yolngu and these people are stealing our intellectual properties without proper consulting to our elders and leaders, I could recognise some movements that's belong to yolngu people and only yolngu people of North East Arnhem land what would you know about culture

[@sylvianulpinditj4133]

And maybe if there wasn't yolngu bungul ga manikay involve I wouldn't say what I said

[@sylvianulpinditj4133]

@@kuzeyarenkesim1977 people like you are insulting our culture! Where's yolngu recognition, plus when yolngu women dance contemporary it's still based on Makassar concept expression dance and it's still fresh in yolngu society the introduction of the ship, sails, steal, knife dance etc.
So what would all of you know when you mob are insulting my opinions
