Blak Electric Coming to QPAC, 5-8 November

The next generation of artists from the Aboriginal Centre for Performing Arts (ACPA) hits the Cremorne Theatre stage at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) with their brand new production, Blak Electric from 5 to 8 November 2014.

Directed by Stephen Lloyd Helper, Blak Electric is a high-voltage fusion of drama, dance, music and song, telling the story of three young Indigenous people living in urban Brisbane.

All three have different connections to country and culture and all must short circuit preconceived notions about what it means to be a young Indigenous Australian in 2014.

Channelling a cheeky and irreverent energy, the students forge connections with each other and the wider world around them to explode stereotypes and find a way forward. No compromises. No holds barred.

Featuring more than 40 artists and a live band on stage, Blak Electric is a powerful new show directed by Stephen Lloyd Helper (Smokey Joe's Cafe) and choreographed by Bradley Chatfield (Sydney Dance Company and Dance North).

ACPA is a unique Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performing arts training institution, providing high quality training in the performance disciplines of dance, music and theatre at Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. It attracts students from urban, regional and remote communities across Australia.

Full of spark, this brand new work is not to be missed, tickets on sale now via qpac.com.au or phone 136 246.
