Mulula Tabil ban Dancers Of Minjerribah
(Sand and the Sea of North Stradbroke Island)
Dreaming Statement: Through connecting up for the land and culture, we play an active role in organising gatherings to encourage greater community involvement, passing on traditional song, dance, stories and providing the time and place to connect back with nature once more. We believe in being consciously responsible and aim for the concept of “thriving” in our lifetime.
Malula Tabil ban is about representing our people, land and culture with the honour, integrity and the respect it is definitely worthy of. Through a team focus we will share our journey’s and support each other achieve our potential. Our culture is a huge gift to us all, one we look forward to sharing with the world.
The group is made up of men, women and children and can facilitate on going school workshops to develop dances to perform at a school event. An all male didgeridoo workshop is available also. The group are mostly relatives or members who have a close connection to the Island. Ranging in ages from 1 to 50, with different experience levels and styles. Some have been dancing for a little and some have danced since they were big enough too. Check out our website to find out more on our dancers.
By performing dances from Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island Qld Australia), facilitating workshops and by being involved in environmental/conservation efforts, we educate whilst having fun and engaging with the audience. Appearing at schools, community events, special occasions, opening ceremonies, private functions and festivals. Soon we hope to provide full time positions for dancers/ land care and conservationist roles in our community as well as organising language revitilisation, story telling, gathering and hunting, artistic expression, enterprise for self sufficiency and touring.
We have just began by clearing the site of one of our dance grounds and are preparing to come together more often for fun, learning, sharing and to perform. To get involved as a volunteer or dancer please contact us.
