It also increasingly reveals to us significant changes to our surrounding ecology. 'As we head towards the 40th anniversary of NAISDA, KAMU characterises the continued cultivation of cultural values inherent to our foundation and our conscious responsibility towards the health of our land and seas,' concluded Frances. Frances will be joined by Dujon Niue, a NAISDA graduate and the Artistic Director of cultural dance group 'ARPAKA' who has created work for the production.
