FuturesPast

FuturesPast offers a powerful dance experience drawing on over three decades of cultural storytelling from First Nations communities. Directed by Mirning woman Frances Rings, the performance unfolds in three acts—Old World, People, and Country—each exploring different chapters of history and identity. Choreography, lighting, and costume design combine to bring these stories to life, creating a vivid journey through time and tradition. This is a chance to witness an artistic expression that honors resilience and survival. The show’s structure invites reflection on the cycles of belonging that connect generations, making it more than just a performance. The dance moves through history in a way that feels both intimate and expansive, offering moments that linger after the final act. Whether you attend with friends or alone, the experience is thoughtful and engaging, balancing emotion and storytelling. It’s a meaningful way to connect with rich cultural heritage through contemporary art.
