Why Rainbow Serpent

Whats in a name? "While dancing their Dreamings, aborigines spiritually connect themselves to the land and to the Dreamtime. The drumming of feet during the dance draws the earth into dialogue with the dancers, allowing the ceremony to bring the power of the Dreaming to life."

Rainbow Serpent an Australian name from the Dreamtime creation story told by the traditional owners of the land. Dreamtime stories change between abvoriginal tribes but the Rainbow Serpent is the only common one to all Aborogines. The Serpent is the protector of the land and provider of life and appears in dreamtime. With dance, music & artistic expression, this Festival allows people from across the globe to dance in a common dream.
