This year marks 30 years since the establishment of what is now one of Australia’s most prominent Indigenous theatre companies. Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company was founded, and still remains, on Noongar Country (in Perth/Boorloo), and in its first three decades it has paved the way for a long list of Indigenous playwrights, actors and directors to share their stories with each other and the world.
The company has premiered some remarkable new stage productions over the years, including Waltzing the Wilarra (2011) and Windmill Baby (2005), both written by the esteemed Indigenous playwright David Milroy.
