A boy from the Northern District prepared for the dance

ContributorMcKinnon, Ken, 1931- Date1973DescriptionA boy from the Northern District prepared for the dance. In this district much of the history of the people, their myths and their legends are reflected in their dance forms. Each dance is preceded by a short plat, usually in the form of a mime but often with spoken words as well. These plays are always humorous and often quite slapstick in quality. From the album, the child and the dance.SubjectEducationManners and customsSchool childrenStudentsTeachersPapua New Guinea Collection NameKen McKinnon CollectionRightsThis image reproduced with permission of the copyright ownerSourceUniversity of Wollongong Archives, collection D293/03/39Item IDD293/03/39Collection IDD293GeoTagnot specified
