Bodies, light and sound weave together in a contemporary experience of gathering. Guided by performers, audiences gain a visceral sense of how story, song and dance continue to live and evolve today. Garabari is a powerful gathering where performer and spectator, Indigenous and nonIndigenous, all become part of a thrilling dance party.

Developed on Wiradjuri Country with Elders and artists, Garabari shares the Giilang (story and song) of Marramalngidyal Marrambidyagu, the making of the Murrumbidgee River, gifted by the late Uncle James Ingram. Now, here on Dharawal Country you can participate in this unique event in a choice of two distinct settings. Join us as we subvert the civic space of the Wollongong Town Hall, or gather with community at the Dapto Ribbonwood Centre. The choice is yours.
