A Whirlwind; a Dust-Devil; a cultural collaboration by Dane Simpson (Gamilaraay via Wiradyuri) and Libby Emerson (Ngunnawal and Ngambri) with art by Bek Walters (Dhanggati Birrbay).
Who can say where a Willy Willy is going and how much dirt it might stir-up? These fleeting outback wonders are fun to watch and grip our attention until they are gone.
Smashing through the cultural glass ceiling of the Australian comedy industry, Aboriginal funny man, Dane Simpson has cracked-up comedy gala audiences of the largest festivals from Melbourne to Edinburgh, and been whisked on to every light entertainment TV show in the country with his endearing and relatable anecdotal style.
In this truly inspiring collaboration with Canberra's Libby Emerson, the improv community, and locally-based artist Bek Walters, Simpson's stories are responded to spontaneously by theatrical improvisers coming together and connecting with the environment and each other, in a way that brings love and especially laughter. Dane Simpson always was, always will be funny.
Part of the Canberra International Improv Festival (CIIF).
