Commissioned for APT5, Stephen Page’s live theatre production Kin brings together three generations of Page men in a story of family, community and history. Told through the eyes of seven young Aboriginal boys, Kin explores the boys’ urban upbringing — influenced by popular culture and a love of hip-hop and football. Aged between 8 and 13, the boys are starting to form their own beliefs about the world and their places in it as young Aboriginal men.

Stephen Page descends from the Nunukul, Munaldjali and Yugambeh people of south-east Queensland. With an international reputation as a leading artistic director and choreographer, he is a former dancer for the Sydney Dance Company, and has been the Artistic Director of Bangarra Dance Theatre since 1991. Bangarra’s unique productions merge traditional and contemporary dance, oral traditions and social history, and have been acclaimed on the national and international touring circuits. His achievements include the Sidney Myer Individual Award as Artistic Director of the Adelaide Bank Festival of the Arts in 2004; the Matilda Award for Contribution to the Arts in Queensland in 2002; and two Helpmann Awards — Best Choreography for Corroboree in 2001, and Best New Australian Work and Best Dance Work for Skin in 2000.
