This program strengthens the physicality of the young participants and encourages them to feel connected through their bodies and minds. By participating in activities and performance training that promotes respect, pride and cultural strength, young Aboriginal people are encouraged to engage emotionally and imaginatively.
Community and kinship are at the heart of this program.
It recognises leadership within the Aboriginal community and supports Aboriginal people to be in key roles – program managers, circus and dance trainers, and elders.
Guiding this program is Aboriginal contemporary dance artist, Moopa (Ian) Wilkes, supported by circus trainers who are trained in Social Circus. Together this creative team is infusing circus arts with Aboriginal culture to actively nurture and grow understanding and awareness of Aboriginal arts and culture.
This unique program will develop a growth in confidence for its participants, along with a sense of pride from their achievements.
Together we are storytellers
