Overview
Having trouble deciding which Out of the Box events to attend? Buy tickets to multiple events here.
Join Aboriginal and Torres Strait Songkeeper, Jessie Lloyd, to learn about our beautifully diverse country through song, language, and dance.
In this fun and engaging workshop, Jessie will share a fresh collection of songs from across the country. Kids will sing about the colours and meanings of our First Nations flags and learn the traditional names of Australia’s capital cities.
Through a newly released Aboriginal & Torres Strait Songbook, Jessie aims for these songs - and many more collected through her Mission Songs and Ailan Songs Projects - to build on the songlines of Aboriginal Australia, a body of traditional songs that carries the 60,000-year history of the world’s oldest living culture.
