Zaachariaha Fielding got his first taste of the joy of performing as a young boy growing up in remote South Australia.
“There was a place called Paraulpi about 10km from [our town of] Mimili – the song grounds for all the children and the grandparents to do traditional Aboriginal dances,” he tells Guardian Australia. “I loved the performance element of it all – how the audience reacted, what the singers did, the design on the bodies – the whole production of delivering a show.”
