Underbelly Arts

Amrita Hepi is a first nations choreographer and dancer from Bundjulung (Aus) and Ngapuhi (NZ) territories, and an all-round superstar. In 2017 Underbelly Arts supported Amrita and collaborators @honeylong and @prue_stent to create a choreographic work inside a large inflatable structure. She has since gone on to win People's Choice at the 2018 Keir Choreographic Awards for her work A Caltex Spectrum 👏.
