Get Up Stand Up Show Up with Dhunghutti Humpty

This 40-minute program invites teachers to join a live event where Aboriginal artist and educator, Dorsey Smith – along with his co-host Jo Tuscano teach children how to sing in Dhunghutti. The children learn how Dhunghutti Humpty Dumpty fell out of the tree and how it was Humpty’s mob who showed up to help him get up, stand up to be put back together again. The children learn Aboriginal words in Dhunghutti, they learn the meaning of falling and breaking and then getting up and showing up again, they learn it is a team effort. This is a fun event involving storytelling, ceremony, art, symbolism, metaphor and song. It is a fusion of western and Aboriginal storytelling.
