For over 40,000 years,
music, song, dance, storytelling & the playing of
musical instruments has played a very important role
in all aspects of Aboriginal life. (both sacred &
non sacred)
Aboriginal
cultural performances (known generically as corroborees)
are dramatic representations, in mime and song, of the
history of individual tribes or family groups . These
performances have many functions, and take many forms
as you will discover in our evening of Aboriginal entertainment.
There
were many non-secret rituals performed in the camps
at night, before an enthusiastic audience of men, women
& children. A group of adult men, seated around
a small fire, would chant one or another of the ancient
songs, while others, their bodies decorated with strange
symbols would portray, in a series of spectacular dances,
the legends of the Dreamtime.
Our
contemporary Aboriginal performance RED
CENTRE DREAMING
will
honour our ancestors by creating an interactive evening
of unique entertainment and dining that can be enjoyed
& shared by everyone.
