Australian Aboriginal theatre group
Nindethana Theatre was Australia's first Aboriginal theatre company, founded in Melbourne in 1971, with its last performance in Adelaide in 1974.
Establishment and aims [ edit ]
The theatre company was formed after the Australia Council for the Arts asked Jack Charles to form a group of Aboriginal actors. The initial cohort consisted of seven young people from Aboriginal hostels in Melbourne, four of whom had never acted before.[1]
Nindethana was established by Charles and Bob Maza at the Pram Factory in Melbourne in 1971,[2] [3] [4] [5] with help from New Zealand-born playwright, theatre director, and actor John Smythe and others.[6] [7] Its stated objective was "the performance, encouragement and promotion of Aboriginal drama, music, art, literature, film production and other such cultural activities in the community".[2] It was the first Aboriginal theatre group in the country.[1]
Productions [ edit ]
The first production planned was Rocket Range , by Jim Crawford , but that did not get staged due to production difficulties and lack of trained staff.[8] Their earliest production was The Cherry Pickers , in August 1971,[9] written by Kevin Gilbert and recognised as the first Aboriginal play.[10] In 1972, the theatre staged a performance called Jack Charles is up and fighting (1972),[11]
In November 1972, Brumby Innes: A Play in Three Acts , by Katharine Susannah Prichard ,[9] [12] [10] was staged, in a production that was so successful that a grant was given to film it. It was filmed at Channel 0 in Melbourne (later part of Network 10 ), airing in June 1973, which led to other acting opportunities for some of the cast members. A sound recording produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1993, is held at Fryer Library at the University of Queensland Library .
In 1973 the theatre company was awarded a fellowship by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Board to visit Adelaide, South Australia , to perform at the Adelaide Festival of Arts , as well as Horsham , Murray Bridge and Yalata Aboriginal settlements.[2] They performed Mission and Urban Identity at Nindethana in Melbourne in 1973 and then in Adelaide in 1974.[9]
