A rare opportunity to explore the vibrant cultural links between Aboriginal Australians and their closest neighbors, this incredible
tour is the first-ever celebration of indigenous traditions from the highlands of West Papua, the coral atolls of Papua New Guinea,
and the vast deserts of Australia! The diverse stories, heritage and experiences of the finest artists from Oceania are an unequaled
point of entry into the richness and diversity of these Pacific cultures. Don’t miss their
phenomenally powerful drumming, stirring ritual dances, hauntingly beautiful bamboo flute
music, and magnificent ceremonial dress!
Links to Oceania, Aboriginal peoples, multicultural
perspectives, storytelling, and world music and dance.
