Talk about Laugh: Blak Comedy & Indigenous Cultural Perspectives On Humour
Laughing "Irregardless": Multimedia Aboriginal Humour
Aboriginal comedy writer Angelina Hurley, is currently completing her Doctorate of Creative Arts on Indigenous humour and was awarded a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. 鈥淭hrough my research topic, 鈥楤lak Comedy and Indigenous Cultural Perspectives on Humour鈥�, I am investigating the development of Australian Indigenous comedy,鈥� Angelina said. 鈥淭he genre of Indigenous comedy predominantly lives within the Indigenous community itself, unknown to mainstream Australia and is still to break through there.鈥�
Her award-winning short film called Aunty Maggie and the Womba Wakgun (2009), is based on a true family story, Aunty Maggie saves the family from destitution by giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to the family rooster.
After screening this 12-minute film, CBC reporter Duncan McCue (Anishinaabe) will talk with Angelina about her film and research.
