Traditional dance was usually performed at ceremonies for a number of different reasons – one being to ensure a plentiful supply of plant and animal foods. The dances would imitate the movements of the animals they hunted. Our dance performances are paired with traditional Aboriginal Music, which includes the Didgeridoo, clapsticks, and traditional singing. Traditional Aboriginal music is used to mark special occasions and to pass down stories from generations to generations.

Experience the tradition of ochre painting, an ancient cultural practice symbolising identity, belonging, and connection to Country. It’s a powerful way to celebrate culture, self expression, and respect for Indigenous heritage.

This complete cultural experience combines the five powerful traditions – a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony, Ochre Painting, Dance Troupe and Didgeridoo Performance, to open your school event or gathering with respect and meaning. Led by Gumaraa’s cultural practitioners, the package offers an authentic introduction to Country, cleansing and blessing the space while sharing the spirit, sound, and stories of the world’s oldest living culture.
