Describe your show in a tweet? energetic_hilarious_ground breaking _ heart warming_ informative_ award-winning_ high-energy_ cultural fusion_ traditional_Yolngu_indigenous_dance_storytelling.

Who will your show appeal to? This show appeals to all ages. Our audiences laugh and cry at different times in the show but predominantly people are smiling by the end, and are walking out filled with what I can only describe as pure joy!

What's your creative process? How do you develop your ideas? We mix traditional Yolngu dances with contemporary pop culture. This occurs naturally by way of it being a genuine reflection of contemporary culture in NE Arnhem Land. Djuki Mala aims at challenging the preconceived ideas people have of Aboriginal culture.

What will make you stand out in the Fringe crowd? Djuki Mala is unlike any other show in the Fringe. We celebrate a love of dance and the joy of life. There's a lot of laughter, but also a very important underlying message.

When and where is your Fringe show? 17 Feb - 5 Mar, The Garden of Unearthly Delights.
