THE PERFORMER
Ryka Aliheritage stems from the Wuthathi tribe of Shellburne Bay, Cape York and from the Torres Strait Islands. A winner in the Young, Black and Deadly Talent Quest (2003) he is a very proud ambassador for Australia’s Indigenous youth. Ryka has performed at various festivals and cultural showcases around the
world. Most recently he has been working with his grandmother Cindy, presenting Indigenous workshops in schools throughout Australia.
Ryka has released a self-titled CD featuring hip-hop/urban sounds combined with the didgeridoo.
THE PERFORMANCE
Pre-Primary:Ryka’s performance reveals the richness of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands cultures. A presentation in two parts, reflecting both sides of his heritage, the show is entertaining, educational and participation is greatly encouraged.
K-6: Beginning with the Torres Strait Islands, Ryka will perform an introductory dance then talk about the flag. The show includes participatory dances with the students and also presentations and explanations of various instruments, artifacts and costumes specific to the Islands. Ryka will then introduce the Aboriginal culture, ‘painting up’ with ochre (along with student volunteers) and explaining its importance and the significance of the designs. Once again Ryka will perform and teach native dances for audience participation. The flag will be discussed along with instruments pertinent to Aboriginal culture, especially the didgeridoo, ending with a demonstration of the extraordinary versatility of the didgeridoo.
Note: Ryka will require student volunteers as well as wider audience participation.
7-12: Similar to the above, and on request Ryka will also give a short demonstration of the didgeridoo and the amazing sound he has created, including the more modern sounds of the DJ and beat-boxing tailored for the male youths.
COMMENTS FROM SCHOOLS
"Excellent – engaged and included all the children. The music stories and humour were fantastic."
Kirinari Early Childhood Centre
"Great. The children smiled, participated and laughed throughout."
KU Bradfield Park Child Care Centre
"They were kept entertained the whole time. The older children were all keen to participate and they were able to follow the movements well. Ryka was very friendly and the children responded well. His grandmother was also very friendly and very entertaining and the children enjoyed all aspects of the performance. I particularly liked the way Ryka applied the ochre to his face and arms in front of the children – it was very child appropriate. It reinforced what the children had been learning about Indigenous culture. They learnt a lot of new words, songs and dances."
Rainbow Cottage Early Childhood Centre
"The children loved this performance. All were completely engrossed for the entire show. The children enjoyed participating as a group and on the stage. Content and props were excellent. The performers spoke to the children in a way that involved them immediately and held their attention. Very age appropriate."
Narrabeen Community Kindymany blessings
he is a great leader and artist by the sounds of it ..
and contributes to the community and teaches children of beautiful native culture ..
this is a much better message of loving frequencies rather than your hatred and malcontent of native people that do not need your permission to be here and actually belong here
and then raven shares a story from his reality and you take great joy in besmirching evidence presented ... and so gnads has proven himself to be full of hate and spreading hatred
what a sad existence this must be for you
and so anyone looking at your posts would see clearly ryka ali is a better role model than you .. so thank you
even filled with your bitterness and ignorant hatred you provide a much needed service in showing others
what not to be ....
