Curated by Marrugeku’s co-artistic directors Yawuru/Bardi choreographer Dalisa Pigram and Anglo Pākehā director Rachael Swain the initiative aims to build capacity in the next generation of leading change makers in community and culturally informed contemporary dance. Burrbgaja Yalirra began in 2017 for an evolving group of ten NSW and WA independent dance artists.

This second trilogy evoke shadow worlds reflecting histories of relocation, cultural adaption and survival. Together they reconnect cultural lineages and embody longing, renewal, rage and resilience to share new ways to belong in a changing world.

Each of the three works evoke shadow worlds reflecting histories of relocation, cultural adaption and survival. Together they reconnect cultural lineages and embody longing, renewal, rage and resilience to share new ways to belong in a changing world.
