“We are one of Australia’s most innovative arts organisations and play a key role in affirming Australia’s unique international image by sharing stories and performances with audiences around the world.”
As the birthplace of Australian contemporary Indigenous dance, we have shaped and performed at our nation’s milestone events including the 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy, 1988 Bicentenary and 2000 Olympics.
We are the enabling precursor of two dance companies, including the highly-celebrated Bangarra Dance Theatre and are recognised by the Australian Government as one of just eight of our country’s premier arts training organisations supporting Australia’s thriving creative economy.
As increasingly more international visitors seek to engage with Indigenous arts, in particular dance, NAISDA proudly plays a key role in keeping the continuum of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures alive.
Our alumni include many of our country’s acclaimed performers and artists including Christina Anu and Bangarra Artistic Director Stephen Page, but our commitment to excellence extends beyond training and creative work. We are a well-managed, sustainable and future-facing organisation. As finalists in the 2017 Telstra Business Awards, we were proudly acknowledged as one of Australia’s most inspiring and entrepreneurial organisations in the not-for-profit sector.
We look forward to working with organisations that share a commitment to a unified and cohesive Australia and recognise the richness of our country’s first cultures.
