Aunty Wendy's Mob songs, interactive Performance & Professional Learning celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures
Following two years of national consultation, Wendy, a non-Aboriginal early childhood teacher, obtained written consent from 34 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Councils, Elders, and Land Councils to respectfully feature their language names and several language words in her song lyrics.
The Aunty Wendy’s Mob songs honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families and educate non-Aboriginal children.
“PERFORMANCE
This interactive musical theatre experience is based on Wendy’s songs. Children are invited to travel across imaginary urban, bush & desert Country, meeting mob on the way...
”
“PERFORMANCE ....
Through song, dance & dramatic play, the children in the audience experience a ‘heart connection’ to the oldest living culture in the world.
”
“PD WORKSHOP
Unpacking the language and cultural content in the song lyrics and accompanying story books empowers teachers to have the confidence to include them in their teaching practice.”
“PD WORKSHOP ...
Learning the dance choreography that accompany the songs brings deeper meaning to the lyrics and a sense of joy and connection to the cultural content.”
