	The Adelaide Review [Dance] Delicate balance
		WITH Stephen Page being artistic director of Bangarra Dance Theatre, it was a fair bet that dance would be significant in the 2004 Adelaide Festival, and indeed it formed a strong spine throughout, with five diverse companies.
		In Bangarra Dance Theatre’s triple bill, however, Stephen Page’s Rush (2002) had plenty of substance, challenging the audience with urban Aboriginal problems, especially drug-taking and the dilemma of encompassing both fl and white cultures.
		Bangarra’s program began with Kabar, Kabur (Rumours), a quirky social comment by Indonesian Mugiyono Kasido, who contorted his flexible body and poked hands and feet through the sleeves and neck of his T-shirt in hilarious ways to express his belief that the elements of society, like the body’s, should work in harmony.

		It is intimately connected to the stories it tells and so is less concerned with notions of good or bad dance, than with the strength and effectiveness with which it is able to convey those stories.
