About this Event
About the Presenter:
Lewis Burns
Lewis Burns is a Tubba-Gah Wiradjuri man born and living in Dubbo, NSW Australia. He has been learning about his Aboriginal culture for as long as he can remember. He continues to practice and respect these life skills each day and still learns and grows from this ancient knowledge. Lewis’ love of his heritage is evident when you speak with him, and depicted even more in his Aboriginal crafts, traditional dancing, didgeridoo performances, mural paintings and teaching. He is very dedicated to sharing what he knows with others to help keep these customs alive. Lewis paints in traditional Aboriginal and contemporary styles. He has exhibited globally and performed globally with his handcrafted didgeridoos. Each piece of Lewis’ artwork tells a story…..a story that will live on forever through the generations, as the artwork is handed down from one family to another.
About the Offering:
Didgeridoo Concert
The didgeridoo is an ancient breath-work and sound-meditation practice. As a prehistoric Aboriginal Australian tradition, didgeridoo is likely one of the earliest instruments of humanity and learning to play the didgeridoo is one of the oldest intergenerational direct-transmission practice-lineages in the world. In addition to being a renowned didgeridoo player Lewis Burns is also a gifted and globally recognized visual artist. Much of his artwork and paintings reflect the influence and aesthetic of traditional Aboriginal cosmologies. Lewis will be performing didgeridoo rhythms during this tour, and presenting art, with occasional talks or Q&A dialogues supported by Yasha S. Wagner and the InterWorld Institute 501(c)3.
