Indigenous Performance

Welcome back to Term 2. We have already had a very busy start to the term and were lucky enough to have a visiting Indigenous Performer, Sean Choolburra come to Fraser Primary. 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. During his engaging and entertaining performance, Sean showed us some cultural dance, while telling us Indigenous stories and we were even able to watch him create a fire with sticks. We also had the opportunity to learn about some indigenous artifacts, including fishing nets, clapping sticks and hunting shields.








 What was something new or interesting you learnt from Sean's performance?
