Wakakirri

Wakakirri is a nationwide Festival for Australian schools that provides a platform for students to express their thoughts, ideas & aspirations through the art of storytelling & dance. Inspired by the belief that great stories can inspire change, Wakakirri is designed to promote student engagement & well-being in schools through the creation and performance of captivating Story-Dances. Established in 1992, the Wakakirri Story-Dance Festival is Australia's largest performing arts event for schools. Held in term 3, this grand celebration showcases the Story-Dances from schools all across the country. With prestigious theatres in major cities & carefully selected regional areas serving as our venues, we ensure that no school is left behind. Even those in remote & regional areas can participate through our innovative Wakakirri Video platform. Running Times: Doors - 6:00pm Start - 7:00pm Finish - 9:15pm .
