The Beginning of Spring - Tea and Qin Experience
Guided by the ancient time system of China - solar terms - this nurturing event is a farewell to winter and welcome to spring. Explore the serenity, precision and ritual of tea brewing while melodic tunes of traditional Chinese instrument, Qin, soundtrack your experience.
Lineage is a series of skill exchanges and performances centring the practices of local lutruwita-based artists with global perspectives and influences. This program explores the music, dance and art forms of culturally diverse artists, spanning the traditional to the contemporary and everything that happens in between.
Lineage creates a platform for culturally and linguistically diverse artists to share their art forms in a mainstream festival, rather than in a specific event focussed on multiculturalism. This is significant as it creates space for culturally diverse art forms to be included as part of the creative landscape in lutruwita. Over three nights, Lineage is a platform for local artists with world influences. Experience this unique series of showcases that explore the classical, contemporary and fusion of sounds and dance which draw from rich heritage
