Performance, Art & The Sacred
Today, all kinds of dances, ancient and modern, are performed by Murray Islanders.
They range from simple descriptions of their fishing activities and the world of the sea, to highly symbolic displays.
The movements may be as complex in their shades of meaning as any art or ceremonial form; particularly when the movements of sea birds, sea creatures, or the sea itself, are danced.
