About this event

A free community screening at the Walyalup Aboriginal Cultural Centre of Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra. The film follows Stephen, David and Russell Page and the growth of Bangarra Dance Theatre from a small dance group into one of Australia's major First Nations cultural institutions, taking in the loss and reclaiming of culture, intergenerational trauma, and the power of art as a messenger for change and healing.

Good to know

Booking is essential — the centre takes bookings by email. Warning: the film contains images, voices and names of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and includes material some viewers may find distressing. The centre is one of the old pilot cottages on Captains Lane overlooking Manjaree | Bathers Beach, open Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 3pm.
