Bilya Kep Waangkiny

Northam

Bilya Kep Waangkiny (River Water Stories) is a mesmerising performance of Noongar poetry accompanied by live music.

Bringing together new and known poetic voices, the performance weaves through verse musings and deeply personal stories from the Avon River, the Wheatbelt and beyond.

The poems featured in this series were written during CAN's Rekindling Stories on Country creative workshops with the Northam community.

Their live performances were complimented by musical accompaniments by professional musicians Ian Wilkes on Didgeridoo, Julia Watson on Violin, Anna Sarcich on Cello and Mark Turner on Guitar.

CAN acknowledges the Noongar people of the Bibbulmun nation as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and honour all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of this nation. CAN is proud to work with people from all cultures, but we do so on the understanding of First Peoples, first.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
