at the Yuin Theatre, Bay Pavilions, Batemans Bay on 4-5 October 2024.
Baranguba brings together the traditions of Aboriginal storytelling through dance and song with contemporary digital art, video projections and animations”, said River of Art Festival
Chair Leanne Joyce.
Baranguba is a unique fusion of modern technology and traditional practices, conveying a story of resilience, pride and strength that will touch the hearts and souls of all who attend.
Performed by the Djaadjawan Dancers, accompanied by the technical artistry of creative director Scott Baker and motion graphics artist Duncan Irving, and technical team
Visumotus, Baranguba is a highlight of the 2024 River of Art program.
The Djaadjawan Dancers are a traditional female Aboriginal dance group from the Yuin Nation. The group includes girls, women and Elders from multiple generations from Wallaga Lake, Narooma and La Perouse in NSW. Since their formation in 2015 by Walbunja woman Sharon Mason, the Djaadjawan Dancers have earned their place as one of the most sought
after Aboriginal cultural performance groups in southern Australia.
“We are grateful to the Djaadjawan Dancers for sharing this story with us and for the vision of the creative team, taking this performance to a whole new level. Book your tickets online
now for this River of Art festival feature”, said Ms Joyce.
Baranguba is presented with the support of Create NSW. The 2024 River of Art Festival, celebrating its 20th year, will be held from 27 September to 7 October. Extending from
