Great Stories Inspire Change!

Great Stories can open hearts and minds and inspire change. Wakakirri is a Story-Dance festival where schools aim to do just that! Created in 1992 Wakakirri is Australia’s largest national performing arts event for schools. Does your school have a story to tell? It’s time to get involved! Wakakirri is for every school in Australia.

The Signature Item

The Signature Item is one of the best challenges at Wakakirri and this year’s Item is… *drumroll please* a Monkey!!! What inspiration is this friendly face giving you? How are you going to work a monkey into your Story-Dance? You can be literal, you can use the monkey as a metaphor, you can be silly! The choice is up to you (reminder, it is not compulsory to use the Signature Item) but for the team at Wakakirri, seeing how the Signature Item gets creatively used by different schools is a hugely exciting part of Wakakirri each year!
