Backdrop
Burrundi Theatre for Performing Arts is founded by Kerry Johnson in 2020.
Burrundi translates Black in Wiradjuri Language & is inspired by the movement of Black Theatre of the 1970's. Kerry alongside her sister Rayma Johnson trained on the site of the old Black Theatre in the 1980's (ADTR). They re-connected in Redfern at a of innovation & change being realised. Theurban artistry told the relevant narrative & inspired survival in NSW. The people, the political activism & fight for our rights, justice & equality through the Arts translated pride & empowerment.
The 2020 vision for the BTPA is to remember, to celebrate & continue the legacy of sovereign arts & culture.
