BINDI BOSSES BRING TRADITIONAL FOLK DANCES TO WAGGA WAGGA 🌾

Last week, @jaya.kachwaha and @fromyush flew to Wagga Wagga for their first ever interstate BINDI BOSSES gig, sharing traditional folk dances from their own cultural backgrounds through workshops at @fusion_wagga.

Here’s what they had to say about their experience:

Aayushi —
“I loved my time at the Wagga Wagga botanical fusion multicultural festival! The community was so accepting and gave us so much energy as I shared elements of my roots through dance. I aimed to mix topics that kids can understand and yet remain connected with the essence of my culture and, they did, so beautifully. The night’s highlight was definitely the talented DJs @munasib____ and @ijaleofficial that brought so many cultures together. It was a magical trip with so many talented artists, amazing home-made food, well organised stalls and activities that kept their audience engaged and of course, we were taken care of so thoughtfully”.

Jaya —
“Hosting the Ghoomar workshop at the Wagga Wagga Botanical Fusion Multicultural Festival on Saturday was a deeply meaningful experience for me as a proud Rajasthani. It was incredibly fulfilling to share a piece of my heritage through dance, especially in such a vibrant and diverse setting. The energy and enthusiasm of the children who attended brought back memories of my own early love for dance. Seeing their eagerness to learn reminded me of how dance connects us across cultures and generations. The festival itself was a beautiful surprise, filled with talented artists like Bengali DJ @munasib____ from around the world, each celebrating their roots with pride”.

Rituals of Welcome 🙏🏾 3 workshops down, 1 to go! 

As part of CuriousWorks’ Holding Space: Rituals of Welcome, we’ve been exploring what it means to arrive, belong, and connect — through the ancient Tamil traditions of Parai Attam (drum and dance) and Kolattam (joyful stick dance).

We’ve connected with incredible women from refugee backgrounds — hailing from Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and beyond — in a powerful exchange of movement, music and culture. Together, we’ve shared dance moves and songs, embodied the elements of earth, water, air and fire, and connected through rhythm as a universal language.

Each session has become its own ritual of welcome — grounded in nature, shared energy, and the spirit of togetherness. What we can’t always say, we can feel and express through movement. 🥁✨Here’s what Smrithi @karma_sx had to say about her experience co-facilitating the workshops alongside Shyamla @shyamla.e:

“Sharing the space with all the women was so heartwarming — there was so much love and care shown towards understanding each other’s cultural heritage. Being able to share our own experiences through cultural art forms allowed them to open up with their own, which was such a beautiful exchange and is exactly what is needed around the world”.

Thank you for inviting us to be part of this beautiful project and opportunity to connect and share practice. We look forward to delivering our final workshop this Friday 24th October at the Refugee Welcome Centre in Lilyfield @crwc_lilyfield.
