HONEY SPOT

Suitable For Ages 10+

Two young West Australians strive to blend the earthy feel of traditional Noongar dance with the fluid grace of Ballet in to a single dance piece. Set in country WA in the 1980s HONEY SPOT is a play about two cultures living together, about two different philosophies on land conservation and about how friendship can overcome racial differences. One of Jack Davis’ most celebrated theatrical works, HONEY SPOT is a piece of quality Indigenous theatre for all ages.

Written by Jack Davis and Directed by Kyle Morrison
