Entertainment Presents
Wadumbah Aboriginal Dance Group
|
|
The
Wadumbah Dance Group has achieved the status of being one
of the premier Indigenous dance groups in Australia. They
have been doing concerts and presentations for over 12
years through-out the State of WA and invited to perform
in many countries world wide on many occasions. Along
with the likes of Germany, Italy, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, the island paradise of Mauritius, Singapore
and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to name a few.
The group had a successful two week tour of Dubai in the
United Arab Emirates this year (May 2007). Wadumbah
regularly perform at the big Fairbridge Festival south of
Perth and the Perth Royal Show.
Who are we: Men from the Noongar nations of the south
west of Western Australia, their tribal homeland of the
Whadjuck region.
The group regularly do concerts at schools, festivals,
national and international conferences, conventions and
Welcome To Country presentations for big and small
events. We also do private functions for corporations and
organizations.
Wadumbah specializes in presenting professional concerts
at a variety of different events and venues. We showcase
traditional Noongar dance, music and tales from the
Dreaming, and we share a lot of our funny and
interesting stories from our adventures through-out the
State and the world. Fiery energetic dances and wild
Didjeridoo playing!
Concerts are well organised and presented with ease and
grace. This is because we work hard in preparing for our
shows. We talk to the Event Organisers about the theme of
the event and work in with them to make sure the concert
is done according to time allotted and the way it should
be presented. For example a 5 minute welcome to country
presentation would be different to a 30 minute concert
and so on. Our approach at a conference is completely
different to the way we perform at a school.
The whole concert is executed in full traditional
regalia, free flowing and all that is left is for the
audience to relax and enjoy a great traditional
performance. The men are very experienced and know what
they are doing. This is great for the organisers who can
cross Wadumbah off their check up list and attend to
other matters because the group take over and get things
happening. They always get to the venue early and follow
through to the very last refrains of the didjeridoo in
the last dance of their show!
Workshops
can be arranged where the men will teach dance and how to
play the Didjeridoo. James T Webb does solo motivational
presentations for about an hour where he talks about the
achievements of the Wadumbah Dance Group and their
journey towards success. He discusses Aboriginal culture
and music and demonstrates his skills on his traditional
instrument the didjeridoo.
To see a Wadumbah Dance Group performance is to
experience a moving account of Indigenous culture with
fiery dance sequences and raw, didgeridoo sounds. Their
dedication and commitment to performance is unrivalled,
captivating and all encompassing. James T
Webbs performance on didgeridoo is comparable to
none, the way that James tells the story through the
sounds of the didgeridoo is powerful, haunting and
evocative. It is with much pride that we provide this
reference....Teresa Pedrocchi April 2007,
International Dolphin Resort at Monkey Mai, Western
Australia
The dance performances, narrated by Mr. James
T. Webb, and the fantastic sound and skill of the
Didjeridoo played by Mr. Webb was mesmerizing!
they
not only educated the audience but entertained them as
well. The knowledge of their culture and the great pride
of their Noongar people was inevitable in every
performance. They were spectacular to view and listen to!
All the gentlemen were very friendly, humorous,
respectful and courteous. A great group to have around! I
would highly recommend the Wadumbah Dance Group to
anyone! I would love nothing more than to be able to
bring them back again some day.I, for one, together with
my fellow colleagues, will miss them and I am truly
honored that I had the opportunity to meet them, share in
their culture and work with them. I feel blessed.
