Aboriginal Dance Welcome To Country

A Welcome to Country opens your event on behalf of the traditional custodians, and this Perth group can deliver it with a didgeridoo, with a smoking ceremony to cleanse the space, or with traditional dance alongside. Their work spans education, tourism and performance, and the aim throughout is a deeper understanding of local culture. Formats are short and easy to slot into a program. A traditional dance with one dancer and a didgeridoo player runs 15 minutes. The combined Welcome and dance uses two dancers and a didgeridoo player, three people in all, over 15 to 20 minutes. There's a 30-minute didgeridoo performance played as a run of five-minute pieces with short rests between. And there's a children's group, Little Doorum, where two to six young dancers perform with a didgeridoo player for 15 minutes. Between them, the team has more than twenty years of experience.
