Min Min (2010) PDF Print E-mail

As dusk settles on the banks of the Murray River, a strange light appears on the horizon. It is bright and it is moving! The community is thrown in confusion, but among some it is replaced by intrigue; What is it? What does it want? How do we tell others about it?

This is the starting premise of Min Min, the latest work for Kurruru Youth Performing Arts and the first work to be created by new Artistic Director, Deon Hastie.

Working with performers from Kurruru's Dance Ensemble as well as with local artists, young people and Aboriginal community members from Murray Bridge, Min Min explores the unexplainable and mysterious natural occurrences of the river.

Informed by the stories of the Ngarrindjeri people, Min Min will ask audiences to see into the relationship Aboriginal people have with country, and how an Aboriginal perspective offers explanations to every event, often different from that of mainstream science.

Under Deon's direction Min Min will present the concept of the unknown and unanswered through contemporary dance and other artforms.

The premiere performance of Min Min features as part of the Ripples Murray Bridge - Regional Centre of Culture program, a year-long program of arts activities, performances and creative ideas centered on the regional city of Murray Bridge.

Min Min will be presented on Friday 24 September, Saturday 25 September and Sunday 26 September, outdoors at the Pomberuk Cultural Centre, 1 Wharf Road (Beneath the Road Bridge), MURRAY BRIDGE.

A feud between two families, fuelled by the joint suicide of a young couple many years earlier, has spiralled over generations leaving destruction in its wake, for people from both sides with loss of their community and broken identity and culture. Amid this backdrop, history repeats itself and another teenage couple find themselves falling in love. From this love a new season comes – a flower of conciliation grows - a chance to heal the wounds of the past begins.

Binnanendi (2009) PDF Print E-mail

 

Binnanendi (a Kaurna word meaning: to grow up into manhood) was an arts and cultural project for and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys and young men. Through performing arts, photography and digital storytelling, the Binnanendi project explored the way boys find their way to manhood, responsibility and culture. Binnanendi questioned the rites of passage into manhood undertaken by young black men. Using a diverse array of media and performance formats, participants examine their own lives, speaking to audiences about what fuels their passions, where they draw their strength from and how each of them journey along the path to manhood.
