We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Elders, Ancestors and leaders of the Kulin Nations on whose unceded lands ILBIJERRI Theatre Company is based.
We extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, recognising their resilience and ongoing connection to land, water and culture, despite ongoing colonial interruption and genocide.
Always was, always will be, sacred Indigenous land.

The ILBIJERRI Ensemble is an artist development program open to Australian First People emerging theatre practitioners, young people and Community members.
Participants have the opportunity to learn new skills; collaborate with emerging and established First Peoples theatre artists and build industry networks and career pathways.
This year the Ensemble’s Program Director, Amy Sole, will work with participants to support them on their journey as theatre-makers and First People storytellers. If you join the program you will have opportunities to collaborate with emerging and established First Peoples theatre artists, and build industry networks and career pathways.
Running since 2018, ILBIJERRI’s Ensemble program has been shaped by its participants.
ILBIJERRI Ensemble is supported by City of Melbourne, the Betty Amsden Foundation, the Gandel Foundation and City of Yarra
