Moogahlin Performing Arts Incorporated is New South Wales’ leading First Peoples performing arts company.

Moogahlin was formed in November 2007, by a group of First Peoples artists, educators, and community workers at the request of the late Kevin Smith and in honour of the founding members of the National Black Theatre.

We are based on Gadigal in Redfern, Sydney, and ngemba land in Brewarrina, far-west nsw.

Moogahlin (Muu-garl-in) is a Yuin/Bundjalung word meaning to play, to fool about.

We aim to support emerging and established First Peoples creative practitioners to develop and create, to empower our communities, and to provide sector leadership.

We do this through audience engagement, artist and sector development, and by fostering new talent in key creative, administrative, and production roles.
