Joel Bray Dance: Garabari
10 January @ 8:15 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT

Step into the dance Garabari, Wiradjuri for Corroboree.
Acclaimed choreographer Joel Bray transforms the Northern Broadwalk of the Sydney Opera House into a massive open-air dance floor, inviting everyone, families, friends, the curious and the bold, to move together under the stars.
Created with Wiradjuri Elders and community in Wagga Wagga and the Riverina, Garabari shares the Story of the Making of the Murrumbidgee, gifted by the late Uncle James Ingram. What begins as ceremony becomes celebration, a joyful, heart-pounding mix of dance, light and sound that sweeps the crowd into a shared rhythm.
With ethereal costumes by Wiradjuri designer Denni Francisco (Ngali), driving beats by Byron Scullin and enthralling projections by Katie Sfetkidis, Garabari is upbeat, inclusive and unlike any corrobboree that has come before it.
