Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description This article presents the process in creating an arts-based Knowledge Translation piece in an ethical and Culturally appropriate way and identifies a framework that values and supports the transference of Cultural knowledge in the creation of a live performance piece. Titled 'Woer Wayepa - The Water Is Rising', this live performance piece encompassed a Torres Strait Island approach to Knowledge Translation where research knowledge complemented Cultural knowledge, and within that, a Saibaian approach to Cultural knowledge transference. This dual approach to Knowledge Translation can assist in communicating and mobilising invaluable research knowledge to Torres Strait Islanders and support the maintenance of Cultural practice.
