Show Notes

We got to hang out with the founders of the Vou Dance Company, Eddie and Sachiko Soro. Eddie shares how a knee injury led him from rugby to dance, eventually forming the Vou Dance Company alongside his wife, Sachiko, who was also his dance teacher. They discuss the group's evolution, blending traditional Fijian elements with contemporary styles, and the recent venture into the "Fijian Flying Circus." They talked about the challenges and rewards of their artistic journey, the importance of storytelling in their performances, and their commitment to showcasing Fijian culture through innovative dance and circus arts.
