25/01: Dancing Earth Welcomes You
We of DANCING EARTH are a collective of thirteen performance artists representing the First Nations of Blackfoot, Hawaiian, Tarasco, Pueblo, Pima/Maricopa, Seneca/Cayuga, Yaqui, Apache, Pawnee, Seminole, Papanga, Juaneno, Coushatta, Guam, and Taino. We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage and to explore identity as contemporary Native peoples.
We are passionately committed to indigenous contemporary dance as primal, yet articulate, movementblood memory in motion that speaks to all beings. We believe in dance as an expression that can illuminate issues of cultural, historical, philosophical, mythic, and spiritual relevance.
We strive to bring our dancing vision to indigenous communities and global audiences to promote cultural exchange and artistic freedom. It would be an honor to share our performance art with your event or community. We aspire not only to perform, but also to meet local and visiting artists and invite them to participate in original choreography to create an on-site ritual that commemortes this significant event.
