Bangarra Dance Theatre Excursion – Illume at the Sydney Opera House

Year 10, 11, and 12 Elective Dance students recently attended Bangarra Dance Theatre’s 2025 production of Illume at the Sydney Opera House. This excursion was closely aligned with syllabus outcomes across all senior year levels and provided a rich, real-world learning experience.

The performance deeply inspired our students, who were moved by the powerful storytelling, striking lighting and set design, and the physicality of Bangarra’s work. Experiencing Illume in the iconic setting of the Opera House made the evening all the more memorable and impactful.

It was a special night for our dancers, one that sparked valuable reflection, meaningful discussion, and fresh creative ideas they will carry into their own practice and performance work.Congratulations!
