Indigenous Performance

Today we watched a performance by Sean Choolburra! Some of our students were selected to help Sean play an instrument, do a dance or act out a story. The students were very entertained and stayed engaged throughout the entire performance.

As part of our focus on cross curriculum perspectives on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, we are pleased to host indigenous performer Sean Choolburra. Sean was born and raised in Townsville and his ancestors are Gu-GuYalanji, Kalkadoon, Kandju and Bwgcolman from around Townsville and Palm Island. He trained and toured internationally with the Bangarra Dance Company and was the creator and leader of the Naroo Dancers. Charismatic, vibrant and captivating, Sean fuses his engaging energy and humour with historical facts, spiritual wisdom, depth of ancestral understanding and knowledge, he is a very exciting and talented cultural ambassador. Dance, stories, painting, fire creation, didgeridoo playing - all are presented with a wonderful array of artefacts, from fishing nets to hunting shields.
