Workshop Program

Kurruru's workshop program presents young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged 5 to 30 years with opportunities to build their skills in a variety of performing artforms including Dance, Circus and Choir as well as offering opportunities to strengthen connection to Culture.

Working with professional artists, cultural knowledge bearers and community elders, participants in Kurruru’s workshops are encouraged to explore and build new skills in performance areas of traditional and contemporary dance, circus, drama, storytelling and theatre games; with time dedicated in each lesson for participants to hear a local dreaming story or to explore their culture through performance.

Kurruru’s workshop program provides additional support with transport, catering and culturally appropriate support workers present in each workshop. Kurruru works to provide participants with a pathway through the workshop program with participants having opportunities to develop as performers in the company’s performing troupes.

In addition to the 8-week long term blocks, participants have opportunities to take part in a number of intensives with guest artists throughout the year.

Kurruru’s Workshop Program is free and open to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, but class sizes are limited so contact Kurruru to get registered or for more information.
