In a revolutionary moment for dance in this country, Blak Futures is an unprecedented two day event that sees some of our fiercest Blak artists converge on Kaurna Yerta to plant the seeds of the future of blak dance.

A collaboration between Australian Dance Theatre, BlakDance and Adelaide Festival’s Time to Talk series, Blak Futures sees First Nations Artistic Directors from funded dance companies gather on Kaurna Yerta to plant the seeds of the future of blak dance and artistry in this country.

Facilitated by Marilyn Miller and Wesley Enoch AM, Blak Futures will see artists Gary Lang (NT Dance Company), Frances Rings (Bangarra Dance Theatre), Jacob Boehme (Idja Dance Theatre), Dalisa Pigram (Marrugeku), Daniel Riley (Australian Dance Theatre), Joel Bray (Joel Bray Dance) and Thomas E.S Kelly and Taree Sansbury (Karul Projects) reimagine what dance can be in this country.
