Amberlilly Gordon has joined the company as our 2023 Russell Page Professional Development Scholarship recipient after working as the 2022 Youth Programs Trainee.
Amber is a proud Wiradjuri and Ngemba woman from New South Wales who studied at NAISDA Dance College before completing a Diploma of Dance at Ev & Bow Training Centre in Sydney. She began her journey in dance in Dubbo at age 14, when she was a participant in one of the first of Bangarra’s Rekindling programs.
In 2022, Amber worked with the Bangarra Youth Program team, as the 2022 Russell Page Graduate Youth Programs Trainee. She traveled across the country giving young First Nations people the same opportunity that she had, and now joins the Bangarra Dance Ensemble.
Amber makes her onstage debut in Dance Clan, 3 – 18 February in the Studio Theatre at Bangarra.
We thank the Sherry-Hogan Foundation, the Canny Quine Foundation, The Ross Trust and generous donors for their ongoing support of the Russell Page Graduate program.
