What's On in ... October?

Are you ready Fiji? This October, we get swingier!

As we step into the vibrant month of October, we're excited to share with you a harmonious blend of cultural celebrations that will enchant your senses. October is more than just a change of seasons; it's a dedicated time to embrace the enchanting world of Fijian Language and the soulful notes of Jazz Music.

Step into the world of "Rise" (or "En Corps" in French), a film that beautifully encapsulates the power of dance as a form of self-expression and transformation. Follow the journey of individuals as they navigate life's challenges through the art of contemporary dance. "Rise" is a symphony of emotions, physicality, and resilience that will leave you both moved and inspired. Just two days before Dance Fest, get yourself ready for the party! Prepare to be transported to the heart of Africa with "Congo Jazz Band." This captivating theatre play delves into the vibrant world of Congolese Jazz, a genre that transcends borders and generations. Immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of Jazz rhythms and African influences, and gain insight into the cultural and historical significance of this musical masterpiece.

In the spirit of Fijian Language Week, we're thrilled to invite you to a one-hour trivia extravaganza that promises both fun and knowledge. Join us for a lively session of questions, answers, and perhaps a few surprises along the way!
Expect a variety of questions that will pique your curiosity about Fiji - its language, culture, traditions, and more. You don't need to be a Fijian expert to participate; all you need is a love for learning and a zest for fun!
