 I think Australia is very fortunate to have First Nation performing arts, First Nation films, First Nation visual art. The biggest commodity out of Australia in sense of creativity about the identity of the country is First Nations culture. Stephen Page, Artistic Director of Vangara Dance Theatre. I'm a Mananjali new knuckle man from Queensland. Brisbane is where I grew up. My father is part of the Ugenby Nation and my mother's a saltwater woman from New Knuckle Country. We've always been surrounded by stories. It was always music, you know, popular cultural music. My mother was into musicals and so there was always that versus the sort of going on country and hearing stories. So I suppose I've always had a bit of a foot in each world really. We had the opportunity to represent this country overseas. That seed of performing internationally, taking our stories, caretaking our stories and taking it overseas has been a huge part of our programming for most of the last of the 28 years. Southeast Asia was quite a strong relationship for us. Our traditional base connections and families were the Yungal people of northeast Arnhem Land. So a lot of the families there, Marika, Yuna, Pingu, Manayans, they had a close relationship with Bangara because I suppose they entrusted us as a contemporary clan to carry their stories around nationally. So when we heard stories about the Yungal people and stories from thousands of years ago, mythological stories and then also stories before first contact and that before first contact, Indonesia was such a strong trade between northeast Arnhem Land and Indonesia. So they had to go back to Indonesia and almost reflect some of those stories from the past. And out of that we end up performing outside in an outdoor performance, laid a tarcat floor down. We shared workshops that week and then we were able to show them a celebration of traditional and contemporary dance. But in Europe people go into creative caves and watch storytelling and watch performances. So when we were there we were playing 1500 seat, 2000 seat venues, theaters and they were sold out. And what was interesting, audiences demographically, there would be like a 5 year old to an 80 year old person that would be waiting backstage and I think it was first on the dance that felt like rock stars. And that's why our relationship with the Australian government is a serious commitment. It's about a 40,000 year commitment.
