Rockhampton City Council presents
Bangarra Dance Theatre
True Stories


Choreographers: Elma Kris, Frances Rings
Set Design: Genevieve Dugard
Costume Design: Jennifer Irwin
Lighting: Glenn Hughes
Composers: Steve Francis (Emeret Lu) and David Page (X300)


True Stories is Bangarra Dance Theatre’s thrilling new double bill, featuring Emeret Lu & X300.
Emeret Lu is the first work dancer / choreographer Elma Kris has created for Bangarra. Kris travelled to Murray Island in the Torres Strait to ask permission from the Indigenous elders to share the island’s traditional songs and stories through dance, and the result is a brilliant combination of traditional and contemporary dance. Meaning “very old things” Emeret Lu celebrates rain, wind, hunting and the little-known Torres Strait Island culture.
From acclaimed choreographer Frances Rings, the creator of Unaipon, performed at the Pilbeam Theare in 2006, comes X300, a work about healing. It’s a journey back to country, a chance to rejuvenate and heal old wounds. X300, the codename for the British nuclear test site at Maralinga in the 1950s, is a powerful interpretation of the stories of desolation of the land and its people.
“ This is compelling, enriching dance that takes us all to a deeper place and a stronger connection.”

Susan Pennington on Trial


DID SHE – OR DIDN’T SHE?
Police have arrested Susan Pennington and charged her with the murder of her husband, Dr David Pennington. Mrs Pennington has been committed for trial in the Supreme Court of Queensland. Such is the premise of the play “Susan Pennington on Trial” written by popular Queensland playwright, Ken Cotterill and performed by members of the Rockhampton Little Theatre.
Patrons will be able to follow the presentation of evidence both for and against the charge. Prosecution is handled by Gillian March, QC played by Melanie March whilst the defence is mounted by David Brown, QC portrayed by Con Galvin.
While the two barristers have the major roles in the play, the parade of witnesses offers opportunities for various cameo roles by cast members. Some patrons will be empanelled to serve as the jury and their verdict will decide the final lines of the play.
