The Stars Descend

The Stars Descend, by Annette Carmichael Projects, is a vast trail of dance performances about climate action and hope.  It explores our shared responsibility to care for each other and the natural world, and unfolds over five regional locations.

The project is inspired and informed by consultation with First Nations Elders, scientists and ecological groups.  It is co-created by some of Western Australia’s most impactful artists, together with local community.

Performances take place in spectacular outdoor settings and celebrate the rich biodiversity and ongoing restoration of a 1000km wildlife pathway, supported by the environmental program called Gondwana Link.

In Margaret River (Wooditjup), Northcliffe, Porongurup, Fitzgerald and Kalgoorlie (Garlgula/Karlkurla), dedicated teams of professional artists are working together with community, to produce stunning outdoor performances…a sound and dance experience that celebrates diversity and biodiversity across the Gondwana Link.

‘The Stars Descend’ performances unfold from 17 March – 1 April 2023.

Chapter 1 Margaret River/Wooditjup will be performed on Friday 17 March 2023.

Chapter 1 of The Stars Descend is a dance and sound performance that happens OUTDOORS on a grassy slope in a paddock. Bring your own picnic and seating. We recommend dressing warmly, wearing comfortable shoes and applying insect repellant.  Parking is available onsite.
