New Vision City

Information

New Vision City is an Indigenous dance theatre work with six First Nations artists spanning street dance, skateboarding, roller skating and vogueing. Created for children and families, the production draws on each artist's Culture and Country to tell contemporary First Nations stories through movement. Led by Torres Strait Islander artist Ghenoa Gela, the work explores the intersection of First Nations cultural knowledge and street-style practices. As Gela describes, street styles are "a contemporary site of resistance and pride, a space where First Nations artists can assert sovereignty over their stories, their bodies and the ground beneath them." New Vision City expands family programming with a First Nations voice, combining street styles with cultural integrity. The work broadens dance theatre while creating meaningful connections with audiences.

Company / Artist Bio
I am Ghenoa Gela, a proud Torres Strait Islander artist from the Koedal (Crocodile)–Aubaith Clan Wagadagam, Mualgal-Poid, Aragan, Samsep and Peidu clans. I work across performance, theatre and screen as a director, writer and choreographer, creating works grounded in sea, story and sovereignty. My acclaimed works include My Urrwai, Fragments of Malungoka (Keir Choreographic Award) and GURR ERA OP, centring First Nations embodied knowledge, cultural continuity and contemporary political expression. Through my practice, I create platforms for First Nations artists and stories to thrive.
