First Nations youth from Rubibi (Broome) and youth from Girrawheen Senior High School in Boorloo (Perth) unite in an energetic double bill in response to Co3’s engagement project CONNECT 2024: THE INSIDE, delivered by Co3 Artistic Associate Dave Mack and Co3’s Teaching Artist Team.

Throughout Term 2, these youth participated in Co3’s in-school dance residency and workshop program which involved an immersive virtual reality arts experience created by Artistic Director, Raewyn Hill. CONNECT 2024: THE INSIDE engages with themes of belonging and displacement and explores how youth consider and respond to their built and natural environments. This creative dance response in Boorloo brings our young people together from across Western Australia in a safe and inclusive environment - to voice, to exchange and to dance!

Youth dancers ‘Burrb Wanggarraju Nurlu’ created by Artistic Director Tara Gower from Rubibi will be presenting a devised response titled Retaliate. Youth from Girrawheen Senior High School will be presenting their devised response titled The Return, mentored in the program by Co3 Teaching Artists Jessica Pettitt and Alex Kay.

This event isn't just about dance — it's about empowerment, expression, and forging connections. Supported by Act Belong Commit, we invite you to join us in celebrating our youth in what will be a wonderful and disarming showcase of movement and expression. Move with us.
