Step into the dance Garabari, Wiradjuri for Corroboree. Acclaimed choreographer Joel Bray transforms the Northern Broadwalk of the Sydney Opera House into a massive open-air dance floor, inviting everyone – families, friends, the curious and the bold – to move together under the stars. 

In these videos we learn more about what to expect from this epic experience, meet some of the dancers who will be guiding your evening, take a peek into rehearsals and a content shoot, and discover the ancient story that inspired it all. 

Choreographer Joel Bray unpacks Garabari

"Garabari is our gathering, our temple, our parliament – but it's also our club and our party space... I hope audiences have a really visceral experience of what it's like to come into a corroborree."

Meet the dancers

"This is high-energy, high intensity, fully immersive..." 

"This story means a lot to me."

The ancient story which inspired it all 

"It's about the making of the Murrumbidgee River. It's a feminist story, about a brave young woman called Baluhna, who stood up to the goanna-men who were hoarding all of the water."
