Rainbow Serpent Festival 2009!!!
Rainbow Serpent Festival 2009
Rainbow Serpent presents a music, dance, art and cultural experience you won’t find anywhere else on Earth.
Every year on Australia Day weekend people fly in from across the country and around the world for Australia’s iconic bush gathering.
Set up camp under the shade of old gums and enter a magical village created for four days of beautiful escape. This year we’re in for a jaw-dropping line up of Australian and international djs and live bands across 5 floors. Get ready for groundbreaking, foot stomping, dust raising sounds.
The arts team have been working for months. You’ll be dancing between roving performance artists, giant sculpture and light installations. When you need some energy, feast on a delicious selection of world foods, fresh coffee and fruit juice.
Punters create the action at Rainbow so get involved. Be part of forums and workshops featuring leading speakers. Explore dance, wellbeing, social issues and natural therapies with people of like mind.
It’s an event you have to see once and one you can’t resist coming back for, again and again.

Puzzle Dust
The Newly Deads take you into the world of two characters locked in a time warp.

A Puzzle dust fire show is a renegade improvisation of contact and contemporary dance, physical theatre and acrobatics.
