The Langham properties in Sydney and Melbourne will be the exclusive hotel partners in those cities providing accommodation for Bangarra's visiting artists, board members and other key members of the company, specifically when touring and performing at both the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre. 

There will be further collaboration, through providing support for key events between the Australian Langham properties, and Bangarra's home in the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct.

Bangarra is a company of professional Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander performers, focused on creating and producing works based on 65,000 years of history, culture and knowledge, to create and share unique contemporary dance productions on both a National and International stage.

Langham Hospitality Group's Regional Vice President of Operations, Jeffrey van Vorsselen said “We are delighted to be commencing a partnership with Bangarra Dance Theatre and extending our support for the Arts, there is quite simply no other dance company like them in the world.  Creating powerful and unique work, sharing the stories of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture, their mark on the Australian dance landscape is unmatched. We look forward to sharing the beautiful storytelling of Bangarra with our guests and colleagues both nationally and internationally.

Bangarra Executive Director, Lissa Twomey said “We look forward to working with Langham Hotels and Resorts.  Just as the Langham continues its legacy by delivering exceptional experiences, their support for our artists as well as key events at Australian Langham properties will help us continue to deliver inspiring experiences that create greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.”
