Traditional culture, contemporary performance and a keen sense of comedy combine in the electrifying self-titled production from the Top End's amazing Chooky Dancers - Djuki Mala.
Hailing from the remote Northern Territory community of Elcho Island (Galiwin'ku community), the Chooky Dancers arrived on the world stage via a hilarious YouTube clip combining traditional dance with popular culture.
For over a decade, Dance innovators Djuki Mala have been exploring and re-establishing the notions of contemporary Aboriginal performance. Hailing from Galiwin’ku Community (Elcho Island) in North East Arnhem Land, Djuki Mala have again teamed up with Creative Producer and Artistic Director Joshua Bond to create a show touring Australia now.
Djuki Mala continue to redefine the unique physical language they are known and loved for by marrying it with acrobatics and diverse flavours of dance and theatre, and their own keen sense of humour. Djuki Mala promise audiences both laughter and insight. This is a rare opportunity to engage with performers from a very remote part of this vast and diverse country. Djuki Mala (Chooky Dancers) are touring nationally throughout 2014 with their self titled and long awaited show, proudly presented by ArtbackNT: Arts Development and Touring.
