Hugh Jackman is sticking to his Australian guns in promoting the indigenous arts. Jackman has become the patron of the indigenous Bangarra dance company in Australia, which marked its 20th anniversary by announcing the appointment.

The international superstar joins his Australia co-star Nicole Kidman in taking up a patronage at ground level. She carries out the same role for the Australian Theatre for Young People. The dance company made its announcement at a launch of a 20-year retrospective show titled Fire that opens at the Sydney Opera House ahead of a nationwide tour.
