Description Gigibori is an East Papuan word referring to the spiritual quality in a work of art. In this culture a work can only be raised to the status of art if it has this quality and this seemed to link to the energy generated by the Restless dancers with a disability whenever they are in their dancing space. Gigibori took the dancers with and without a disability - and their audiences ? on a classic young people?s journey, travelling through rebellion and chaos to return to the security and stillness of home.
