Miriki Performing Arts is a company of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dancers based in Cairns and the surrounding regions. Aged between 11 and 20 years, the dancers learn alongside mentors like Artistic Director Pauline Lampton (Elder) who share their passion to express their Indigenous heritage and history through unique choreography and the presentation of their work.
Miriki Performing Arts was created to encourage and give opportunity to the Indigenous Australian youth to create, choreograph and perform their Australian Indigenous heritage through theatre based performances.
Original choreography is entirely based on true stories which capture Australian Indigenous history. Miriki performers feel honoured by presenting Indigenous elders’ story via theatrical performances.
