If you're looking for entertainment on the weekend, I can recommend a visit to the Bangarra Dance Theatre's new ballet production HORIZON. I was at the media premiere on Tuesday and am very impressed by the dance talent of the young indigenous dance ensemble. But I don't want to push my opinion. My colleague Barbara Barkhausen has much more understanding of ballet and will be reporting extensively about HORIZON on the SBS Audio program on Monday. But we journalists also had the pleasure of getting to know the new director of the Bangarra Dance Theatre in an interview. Her name is Frances Rings and she has a German father from Bad Honnef, opposite the city of Bonn, on the right side of the Rhine. In the following, Frances introduces herself and I also asked her if she also speaks some German. I got an amusing answer to that:
Frances Rings, neue Leiterin des Bangarra Dance Theatre.
