Work Overview

Mirrabooka Mornings was composed as a dance for children. In my imagination, in opening section the children are all dancing together outside and enjoying themselves. Then they lose concentration, and drift off, distracted by the nature around them. Once again, they begin to play together, and the dance resumes!

Mirrabooka means 'under the Southern Cross' in Australian Aboriginal language.
