Who are we?

Hi ! We are the Suara Indonesia Dance Group! 


We are a collective of friends that come together to practice and perform Indonesian traditional and contemporary dance every week and have done so for the past 11 years. Most of us are of mixed Indonesian-Australian heritage, or have an Indonesian connection somehow and we all share a passion and love for Indonesian culture and dance.

We are all dedicated to preserving and presenting Indonesian dance and music around Australia and to the world. We have performed and conducted workshops extensively around Sydney and Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand, The Philippines, performed in Fiji and conducted workshops in refugee camps in the West Bank Palestine and in the highland villages in Papua New Guinea. 

Artistic director Alfira O'Sullivan and choreographer Murtala preserve traditional and folkloric dances as well as create new works based on traditional movements. This dynamic duos' traditional training has inspired the troupe to acknowledge the past as a way to comprehend and contribute to the present and future art form of dance.

Together we present an energetic mix of dance, body percussion and song unparalleled by any other performance group in Australia. With a blend of traditional and contemporary influences from our Indonesian heritage and Australian upbringing, Suara Indonesia Dance Group brings liveliness, originality and all-engaging performances to the stage every time.

We specialise in Acehnese body percussion and West Sumatran body percussion using galembong pants to make rhythms. 

What is our goal?

To spread our love and appreciation of Indonesian Arts and Culture to Europe! 

This September we are planning to tour Europe, to perform and conduct workshops at schools, communities and International festivals in The Republic of Czech, Germany, The Netherlands, France and England. We would love for you to be part of our tour by contributing to our fundraising campaign. We have been planning this for two years and hope to fulfill our dreams of reaching our goal so we can travel and present our art to the world. 

Help us make this dream a reality!
