WEREDINGO by Karul Projects
“Weredingo: A captivating fusion of dance-theatre and storytelling, exploring the plight of shapeshifters in a secret world. Join the support group, wear your animal, and embrace the duality!”
Join us at the Pacific Dance NZ Festival in June 2024 for an extraordinary experience unlike any other! Get ready to immerse yourself in the captivating world of WEREDINGO, a groundbreaking show that extends our Pacific Dance heritage to embrace First Nations Australia.
WEREDINGO invites you into a fictional realm where shapeshifters are hunted for their duality, forced to meet in secrecy to safely embrace their animal forms and gather with their feathered or furry kin. This powerful dance-theatre work, led by a First Nations team, weaves together storytelling, contemporary dance by Karul Projects, and stunning animations by Jake Duczynski of Studio Hackett, along with projections by Wirrim Studios.
Led by the talented Thomas E.S. Kelly and Taree Sansbury, Karul Projects brings a fresh perspective to the stage, delving into themes of dual identities and transformation. WEREDINGO is more than a performance—it’s a journey into the heart of shape-shifting, exploring the depths of First Nations dreamtime histories and personal metamorphoses.
As you step into the auditorium, be prepared to become part of the narrative. Our welcoming guide, Frank, will note your attendance and animal affiliation as you enter the “shapeshifting support meeting.” Feel the presence of the majestic wedge-tailed eagle, a symbol of timeless observation and protection, as it gracefully moves between live and on-screen realms throughout the show.
From mysterious hooded creatures to playful interactions and thought-provoking moments, WEREDINGO promises an evening of enchantment, introspection, and celebration of cultural diversity. So, wear your animal identity proudly and secure your tickets today to witness this Brisbane Festival highlight that’s sure to leave you spellbound!
Don’t miss out on this unique fusion of dance, storytelling, and visual artistry. Reserve your seats now and be part of a transformative experience unlike any other at the Pacific Dance NZ Festival 2024!
