Australian Aboriginal Cultural Education

Learn and Enjoy Aboriginal Culture with Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo

Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo is a highly regarded group of Indigenous Australian performers and educators led by Walangari Karntawarra, an Aboriginal Elder, teacher and artist. We share our rich and ancient culture through dance, music, art and stories. We work with schools, universities, businesses and events in the educational, government, corporate and tourism sectors. You can choose how to experience our interactive Aboriginal cultural programs:

  • In person
  • Live online
  • Pre-recorded videos

We can adapt our programs to suit different audiences and needs. Whether you want to learn about the Dreamtime, animal tracks, bush tucker, Aboriginal languages, didgeridoo or traditional music, we have something for you. Our online programs are also available for people in regional, rural, remote and interstate Australia and overseas.

Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Education

We offer a range of customisable interactive workshop programs that provide Aboriginal cultural awareness and encourage cross-cultural communications.

Walangari has expertise in First Nations’ Astronomy and its relationship to the Dreamtime.  He has extensive knowledge of the various styles of Aboriginal Art, with a focus on understanding the iconography and relationships to the Dreamings.

Our First Nations’ art and craft workshops include boomerang painting, traditional weaving and understanding how the didgeridoo/yidaki is made and played, all effective learning pathways.

Looking for a fun way to participate and learn about Aboriginal culture? Ask us about our classes in Aboriginal art, traditional Aboriginal dance or playing the didgeridoo.
