Our first dedicated work for children, Waru – journey of the small turtle, comes to Melbourne this September!
Under the star-illuminated skies of the Torres Strait, our small turtle friend Migi undertakes a journey of discovery and survival. A contemporary saltwater Lagaw Kazil (Island Children) story, Waru – journey of the small turtle is an interactive and immersive introduction to Torres Strait Islander culture for 3 to 7 year olds.
Created by Stephen Page, together with Hunter Page-Lochard and Bangarra alumni Dancers and Choreographers Sani Townson and Elma Kris, Waru provides teachers, parents and care-givers with a unique opportunity to open up conversations about climate change, caring for the environment and the traditional cultural values of respect and reciprocity.
