Ngalaka Daa Ensemble is Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s distinctive cultural enrichment program for young people aged 14 – 22 years.
Lead by professional theatre artists and Noongar language experts, members of the Ngalaka Daa Ensemble participate in a ten-week program of Noongar language comprehension and pronunciation workshops combined with theatre making and performance skills.
Open to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal young people, weekly sessions culminate in a public showing of the work the ensemble
have created together for community and families.
Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company provides young people with vital opportunities to participate in the performing arts as well as promoting the sustainability of one of the oldest languages in
the world.
The Ensemble is capped at 18 participants annually and young Aboriginal people are strongly encouraged to apply.
Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company thanks our partners and donors who ensure that Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company’s Ngalaka Daa Ensemble remains fully subsidised for participants.
