"more widely inclusive than theatre or opera"

That's debatable, at the very least, especially with regard to theatre, which in some cultures can be as inclusive as you get with everyone taking part in some way! 81.158.3.105 00:36, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Corroboree/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The article is written by two different people with conflicting opinions. The first paragraph does not inform the rest of the article. Either a corroboree means ceremony or the word describes performances which are not ceremonial. There is much confusion here because in the english literature on ceremonial and non ceremonial Australian performances by traditional owners the use of corroboree has, in the past, been used to describe both ceremony and non-ceremonial performance. This is not helped by the wikipedia article on corroboree. The importance of this distinction is the respect shown for ceremonial law business, which is only for the respective elders to discuss. Corroboree, at least today, means for everyone - men, women and children.58.110.180.175 12:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Substituted at 12:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC) The ballet 'Corroboree' has an interesting non-indigenous history however using an image from the ballet to enhance an understanding of corroboree does nothing to elucidate or help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Totemask (talk • contribs) 02:55, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

In its current state, the article has three paragraphs devoted to conveying the idea that corroborree is not "ceremony." That seems to refer to some specialized technical meaning of the word "ceremony" that needs to be defined or linked; it is obviously false for the ordinary English meaning of "ceremony." Even to the extent this point needs to be made, it doesn't need three paragraphs of reiteration, and it's a shame the article contains very little else. 2607:FEA8:12A0:44D:0:0:0:E11E (talk) 15:41, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
