The QCAA unit requires engagement with a range of Australian voices and experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and/or Asia–Pacific contexts, and with scripted and professional live or recorded live theatre. This starter cannot substitute invented “representative” stories. Use primary, creator-controlled sources and local guidance to choose actual works.
The Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company education page is a first-party source from a First Nations-led theatre company. It describes its school performances and says education kits are developed by its education manager in consultation with Noongar Elders, community and educators; kits are available in connection with group bookings. This pack links the page to identify who makes and controls the teaching material. It does not download or republish its scripts, production photos, recordings, language, story or teaching kit. Availability and suitability for a Queensland school must be checked directly with the company.
Creative Australia’s Protocols for using First Nations cultural and intellectual property in the arts explain the need for self-determination and care beyond ordinary copyright. Read the current protocols before planning with First Nations stories or artistic materials. A company page or a public link is not permission to restage, translate, remix, generate an imitation, train a model on, or freely license cultural content.
Five-minute Day 9 source move: show the two titles and publisher names as text (no third-party images). Ask: “Which organisation made this source? What does it say about consultation or control? What permission would we need before showing or adapting a work? What can we learn from metadata alone, and what requires seeing the performance?” Record the limits. Then return to the original object-library practice scene for the learner’s own directing decision. This is a provenance and cultural-care exercise, not analysis of a selected professional performance. Schools still need to book, license or lawfully access appropriate work and plan with cultural authority where relevant.
