What did you learnt from being involved in Milpirri?
"Going slow through the world is good and Warlpiri culture really taught me that. Speak to the land and the land will speak back. Listening is key. Time spent sitting and listening to the Yawalyu women sing and dance comes to mind. Plus working alongside Nick (Japanangka) Power; I learned a lot from his teaching style. He led by example (dancing and throwing down!) plus his skills in communicating and inspiring the kids, his wise words and choreographic clarity."
