An old story from Yirrkala performed by young people.
\n\n
\n\nA bilingual show starring the students of Yirrkala School will be the first ever theatre style production to be performed at the Roy Marika Stage in Yirrkala this April.
\n\n
\n\nThe performance of the traditional Yolŋu creation story of Yawulŋgura will be held on the evening of Thursday 12th April and incorporates theatre, dance and a mix of contemporary and traditional music. Entry is free and open to all members of the public.
\n\n
\n\nThe performance is part of the Yirrkala Dhäwu project, a two-year collaboration between the Yirrkala School, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts, Buku-Larrŋggay Mulka Yirrkala Arts Centre and Co-directors Sarah Hope and Banbapuy Ganambarr. Many local and visiting artists and cultural advisors have been part of the project, and at the centre is a very excited ensemble cast of 55 young people ranging in age from babies to senior students.
\n\n\n\n
Director, Sarah Hope, states: “The young people involved are enthusiastic about working with community elders to create this extraordinary inter-generational project.”
\n\n
\n\nDirector Banbapuy Ganambarr adds: "This project is for students to put their own ideas into and gives them a chance to use their skills and show their talent. Some students' well-being has already progressed because of different kinds of creative projects".
\n\n\n\n
Whilst the performance is community-driven, the presentation has adopted professional theatre techniques to bring this beautiful story to life on stage - with and for the community.
\n\nAn animated e-book of the Yawulŋgura story is also in development, and will be released online later this year. Both the book and the theatre performance will be delivered in the languages of Gumatj and English.
\n\n
\n\nCorrugated Iron Youth Arts has a long connection with the Yirrkala Community through multiple projects and is thrilled to see the Yawulŋgura story brought to the stage. Corrugated Iron acknowledges the crucial partnerships with Buku-Larrŋggay Mulka Yirrkala Arts Centre and Yirrkala School and the vital support of the Australian Government’s Indigenous Language and Arts Program in realising this project.
