Djirri Djirri are the only Wurundjeri female dance group and are Traditional Custodians of Narrm (Melbourne) and surrounds.
Djirri Djirri means Willy Wagtail in Woiwurrung, our Mother Tongue. The Willy Wagtail is the Spirit’s Messenger and gave us dance! Our dances honour our Liwik (Ancestors), Kerr-up-non
(Family), Biik (Country) and animals. We are all connected by blood through one woman, Borate, Berak’s (William Barak’s)
sister. We ngarrga (dance) and yinga (sing) together as bininang (cousins), babi (nieces), girrin (aunties), baban (mothers),
manggip (daughters), liwurruk (sisters) and bubup (babies).
Djirri Djirri is not just a dance a group, they also provide cultural talks, Language presentations and Cross-Cultural Workshops.
This workshop covers the basics of how Woiwurrung language is formed and pronounced.
It will include interactive activities as well as general information about revival of languages around Victoria.
