ahh... I just finally got to this thread.
yes that was a stunning event - at least the indigenous section.
where did you get the photos from?
The big aboriginal dancer in the early pictures is an interesting man, who joined the aboriginal dance troupe late - he came from somewhere out of his own country (they use the word country to describe their traditional area). All the others were trained dancers, but he was a shamanic character who was so good that he immediately became the principle dancer, even though he did not have the usual agility of a dancer, but he had intensity of presence - dancers don't have to move much to create the other world, if they know what they are doing.
