For The First Creatives first full-length production, a multidisciplinary, intergenerational cast of First Nations’ women share stories of colonial violence, dispossession, abuse, motherhood, blak joy, connection, country and healing, woven together with song, dance and video.

The show will feature performances by The First Creatives founders, dancers Allirah and Maddy Fisher, and guest performances by Githabul, Migunberri- Yugumbeh poet and musician Alinta McGrady “BADASSMUTHA”, Kabi Kabi and Kuku Yalanji Aunty Sharyn Malone, Gooreng Gooreng, Kabi Kabi Aunty Chantay Link and more. The work brings together diverse creative expressions to inspire and sustain traditional healing practices and inspire future generations to stand strong in their identity and truth. The production’s title, Ya’Djin, meaning ‘speak’, echoes a message of resistance and courage from the artists, inviting the community to speak up and fend off any pressure to remain silent.
