All cultures have their traditional songs and dances ….. they are part of what re-creates these cultures.
Any movement of the human body frees the energy flow through the body and helps it be a better conductor and transformer of energy ….. especially when the feet are beating the earth and the voice is singing. Watch indigenous, African or Aboriginal dancers – they are masters of rhythm and dance.
Suggested steps …..
- Check if any events are already happening in your area.
- Introduce the idea to local people who may like to be involved, or can benefit eg Landcare, Lions, Rotary, youth groups, singing & dance schools and teachers, choirs, creative learning centres, health workers etc. Use the intro and support material to help you. Eg search this website, internet, Facebook,
- Decide what is important to you …. what are you really passionate about? Why do this ?
- Meet, and Brainstorm ideas – imagine a picture (draw it) of your ideal event. List the things you need to create this. Ask who can provide (can it be free?), get commitments from people to do these tasks. Decide a budget, ticket prices if any etc and how to promote, and help local trees and people. Agree on the best time for the event. Register as an organizer & obtain the Event Kit
- Meet regularly. Once details are firm, notify Conductor who can direct customers & support to you.
- Commit to planning budgets, any advertising, local sponsorship, invitations, reserve venue, advise local radio & newspapers for publicity, etc, book bands, music – Meet regularly
