Welcome to the Premiere of Seed of Destiny at Bulmba-ja Arts Centre!

Miriki Performing Arts with NRL Cowboys House and Cairns Regional Council proudly present "SEED OF DESTINY". A stunning dance production cast with 30 First Nations dancers aged 5 yrs to 60 yrs old from Miriki, Cowboys House, Dabul Dancers and singer Nicole Lampton.

This beautiful and fantastical show pays homage to the life and inspiration of the late Elder Apostle Brian Lampton. Apostle Brian's heartfelt message, "Seed of Destiny" has spoken life into many generations, imparting wisdom and faith learned from his beloved mother. This profound teaching emphasises the inherent purpose and potential within each individual, encouraging everyone to recognise and nurture their unique destiny.

Under the creative vision and direction of Balla Neba with head choreographer Meridah Tautu, and choreographer's Tanya Seaton, Glen Thomas and Uncle David Mundraby, Seed of Destiny enthrals audiences into a world of fantasy realism and wonderment that will delight the imaginations and hearts of all.
