Telling the Stories of Indigenous Australia Through Dance

In this week's episode, we travel to Australia to talk to dancer, choreographer, and storyteller Frances Rings, a descendant of the Wirangu and Mirning Tribes from the country's southern west coast, and the artistic director of Bangarra Dance Theater, Australia's leading Indigenous performing arts company. She explains the power of dance as a tool for healing—and shares stories of Indigenous Australia. Out of respect for Indigenous Australian bereavement practices, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this podcast contains the name of someone who has died.
