Presented by Sonya Stephen with STRUT Dance
Gather under the trees at Bina Parkland and be swept up in Mudh (Home), a powerful outdoor performance bringing together an ensemble of women from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Created by Torres Strait Islander choreographer Sonya Stephen, Mudh explores ideas of nurture, belonging and home through movement, music and connection.
Watch as the performers move across the park landscape to an evocative soundscape, surrounded by Balga trees. It’s a performance that feels at home in the natural scenery inviting you to experience the park in a completely different way.
Come early to enjoy the space, there will be a free sausage sizzle and food trucks. Then settle in under the trees and share the experience with your family, friends and community.
More than a performance, Mudh is a gathering. A place to come together, connect and celebrate what home can mean to all of us.

To me, Mudh is more than a performance. It is an invitation to pause, feel, and share a moment with us. It is something you can experience with your heart as much as with your eyes. – Sonya Stephen
The story of Mudh and Locale.
Home means something different to everyone. It might be the place you grew up, the people who make you feel safe, the traditions you carry with you, or somewhere new that gradually begins to feel like your own.
These ideas sit at the heart of Mudh (meaning Home), a contemporary dance project created by choreographer Sonya Stephen. Bringing together women from First Nations, migrant and broader community backgrounds, the work explores nurture, belonging and connection through movement, storytelling and shared creative practice.
But Mudh is about more than what happens on stage. It is also the story of what can happen when artists are given the time, support and opportunity to work alongside communities, and what can grow when people are invited to create something together.
