BUSH REFLECTIONS with Constantina Bush

Friday 7th June, 8pm
Pre-show entertainment and bar from 7pm
Tickets: $15 standard, $10 concession
 

Tuggeranong Arts Centre welcomes Australia’s Premiere Showgirl from the bush – the female alter-ego of award winning First Nations Australian artist Kamahi Djordon King – back for Bush Reflections.
 

THIS LEGGY BABE FROM THE BUSH 

...returns to the Bush Capital to show Canberra who Australia’s real Queen is this Queen’s Birthday weekend.

Last year, Constantina Bush captivated local audiences with an intimate cabaret performance in Tuggeranong Arts Centre’s Hunting Lodge. Looking divine in a sequined sexy Aboriginal Flag, she moved effortlessly between soaring vocal numbers and comedic, and sometimes crass, repartee.

Bush Reflections, on Friday 7 June, is a night of song and storytelling reflecting Constantina’s unique life growing up in the bush, from 70’s disco to today’s Club music.

MAKING ITS DEBUT IN CANBERRA 

...‘Bush Reflections,’ tells her life story as she journeys through the songs that have had the biggest impact on her, from childhood through to adult life.

Constantina was born by accident in 2008, when somebody pulled out of a show and Gurindji artist and performer Kamahi Djordon King threw on a wig and heels to replace them. But Constantina did the unthinkable… she sang live instead of lip-syncing!

Gathering fans quickly, Constantina was asked to perform annually at Outblack, an Indigenous run night for the Black LGBTIQ group in Melbourne. Since then she has toured with Moira Finucane from Finucane & Smith’s burlesque variety shows, worked with Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, and had her own shows, with the Bushettes in tow, around the Australian festival circuit.


AS KAMAHI'S FEMALE ALTER-EGO, THIS DIVA HAS TALENT

...Kamahi was one of the first Graduates of ACPA (Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts) in Brisbane in 2000. Prior to this, Kamahi studied in Perth in the Aboriginal Music Theatre Training Program attached to the Black Swan Theatre Company.

Since then, Kamahi has gone on to perform and tour with likes of ILBIJERRI Theatre Company and Yothu Yindi.
