Morris Dancing
Morris dancing is a traditional type of folk dancing found in many villages in Britain. The earliest records of morris dancing date from the fifteenth century. The name is quite interesting and one theory is that it comes from the Latin word mores which means a custom. For some reason morris dancing seems to be very popular in the spring and early summer. Often the dancers are all men and they wear special costumes with bells on. They carry sticks or handkerchiefs which they wave when dancing. They are accompanied by folk music, usually played on an accordion.
Haiku
A haiku is a particular type of Japanese poem. Many experts say that the first haiku was written by Basho in the seventeenth century, but it may well date from earlier. The poems consist of three lines adding up to a total of seventeen syllables (or sounds). The first and third lines have five syllables each and the second line seven. One thing that is very different from many forms of poems is that the lines do not need to rhyme. Traditionally haiku are about nature and include a kigo -a word associated with one of the four seasons.
Dreamtime
Dreamtime is a very important concept for the Aborigine peaple of Australia. It is the way the Aborigine explain the creation of life and their origins. The dreaming connects the Aborigine to their ancestors and to the land. For them, their land, plants and animals are incredibly important. The dreaming can be shown through paintings, dance and storytelling. The paintings often consist of lines, circles and specific symbols that represent animals and people. The stories are usually about creation but are more than just myths and legends. It is through the stories that the children learn about the traditions, how to behave and where to find food and water. Many of these stories have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
