Beyond the Tracks

Beyond the Tracks shares the extraordinary autobiographical journey of renowned dancer, choreographer and educationist Michael Leslie, who founded Aboriginal performing arts institutions across Australia and helped shape landmark works including Bran Nue Dae. Leslie steps onto the stage to embody his own story, tracing a life forged at the intersection of history, culture and performance.

This multidisciplinary work is a powerful living portrait of an Aboriginal artist, weaving movement, dance, poetry and immersive audiovisual storytelling to explore the pain, resilience and triumph of a visionary who has created pathways for generations.

Co-created with leading Australian artist Ursula Yovich, acclaimed guitarist and composer Ben Hauptmann, writer-composer Robbie Alexander, and director Nicholas Flanagan.
