A sovereign act of gathering. A ceremony grounded in Country.
Taking its name from the Wiradjuri word for corroboree, Garabari is not a reinterpretation of the past. It is a continuation. It embodies community-led gathering, story-sharing, and resistance.
BlakDance is proud to stand alongside our sister organisations in launching the First Nations Performing Arts Workforce Development Framework 2025–2030.
Together, our companies represent a range of First Peoples’ Performing Arts disciplines, art forms and expertise. Offering a First Nations-led vision for real change – for us, by us.
