Gandangara - Yidaki, Musical Interpretation
Part of the WOW festival for children and young people
Join Educators from Gandangara Land Council in the beautiful outdoor amphitheatre, listen to the sounds of parkland and the Georges river floating past.
During this workshop, Gandangara Educators will share oral translations of knowledge that has been handed down through generation to generation over the last 65,000+ years. The oral translation of the sacred knowledge of these First nations elders tells stories of survival, life skills, life lessions, wellbeing and many more fundamentals.
The Yidaki is an ancient musical instrument and these workshops will include a sensory active listening session which will bring the mind into the present, allowing space and time to participating families for reflection.
Through Yudaki usage, a musical interpretation is created by each and every individual that participates. The ancient musical instrument has the capabilities of reaching deep unexplored regions of your mind and allow you to take control of your Mind, Body and Spirit through connection to Mother Earth.
This workshop will offer a creative and peaceful opportunity for families to engage in positive mindset maintenance and an opportunity to reflect on ancient knowledge that is still important and used in the present time.
Each session runs for 20 to 30 mins, and will be located in the outdoor amphitheatre.
