Tura and Denmark Arts are pleased to present a didjeridu workshop with renowned didjeridu performer Mark Atkins as part of the Mungangga Garlagula tour.

Acknowledged as one of Australia’s finest didjeridu players, Mark Atkins is also recognised internationally for his collaborative projects with some of the world’s leading composers and musicians. A descendant of Western Australia’s Yamitji people, as well as of Irish/Australian heritage, Mark is known not only for his masterful playing, but also as a storyteller, composer, percussionist, visual artist and instrument maker.

This workshop is for all levels of didjeridu players and open to curious future didjeridu players. Mark will cover some circular breathing techniques and extended techniques including calls and other sounds and share some stories about his journey with the didjeridu.
