Bangarra Dance Theatre will honour the life and legacy of the late David Page in a series of performances entitled Dubboo – life of a songman, directed by Stephen Page.
David Page, who passed away suddenly in 2016, joined Bangarra in 1991 as resident composer, going on to become the company’s musical director. During his time at Bangarra he wrote 27 scores for the company’s repertoire and worked with over 100 traditional singers across the country. Page reinvented the art of the soundtrack to encompass traditional language, song and instruments with the sounds of electronica, hip-hop, classical and the natural world.
Dubboo – life of a songman honours the incredible achievements of a formidable artist. Bringing together his love of classical, electronic and traditional music, cabaret, dance and drag, Page’s boundless creativity will be celebrated in a dynamic and joyous performance.
Dubboo – life of a songman will play Carriageworks inSydney, 6-8 December 2018.
