A proud Noongar woman, Karla Hart was raised on Goreng country in Western Australia’s Great Southern. She is a multi-award-winning artist, filmmaker, actor, musician, performer, speaker and teacher. It is through her connection to her country and culture that has inspired every aspect of her work and commitment to the sharing of First Nations stories.
Since 2007, Hart has managed and performed with the Noongar women’s dance group Kwarbah Djookian, and has taught Noongar dance and song to thousands of people in community groups and schools across Western Australia.
As the Tourism WA Invited Aboriginal artist, live performances of ‘Wardarn Dreaming’ will be presented by Karla Hart and Kwarbah Djookian (‘Beautiful Sisters’).
‘Wardarn Dreaming’, meaning “dreaming of the ocean, our connection to it, the spirit of the ocean, and all that it provides for us” is a culturally rich and immersive performance celebrating the connection of Nyoongar people to the ocean. To be performed during the exhibition, it will bring together powerful dance, song, a skilled didgeridoo player, performers adorned with body paint, and an evocative ocean soundscape with language chanting.
‘Wardarn Dreaming’ will undoubtedly create a deeply engaging cultural experience on Cottesloe Beach for all visitors to Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe.
We welcome you to attend the performances to take place at the following times:
Sunday 8 March at 6.15pm
Sunday 22 March at 5.30pm
