From the Wampana (Spectacled Hare Wallaby) Jukurrpa (Dreaming), the Wampana and Yankirri (Emu) travelled together. This dance speaks to working together and Jintangka (Unity). For this dance, we chose to try and do things that we could only do if we worked together, such as partner work, counterbalances and supports.

Jintanka (Unity)/Working Together
Dance Story
From the Wampana (Spectacled Hare Wallaby) Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story. Grow Strong, help each other, stick together, work together. This dance shows the benefits of really working together to achieve far more than you can do by yourself. The dance moves from unison, through canon forms, and various patterns that will only look good if everyone does their bit to stick together.

2016 Milpirri - Kurdiji
Jintanka (Unity)/Stick Together
Dance Story
From the Wampana (Spectacled Hare Wallaby) Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story. The focus of this dance is working together in a system. The interlocking section only works when all the dancers work together in a system. The piece where two dancers paint the picture of throwing a ball over two colour groups only works when all the dancers follow the imaginary ball.
