Celebrating Dancing Earth Summer Institute

Dancing Earth Summer Institute 2022 marks our eleventh Summer Institute, which is a powerful incubator of leadership emphasizing intensive cultural practice for emerging global Indigenous artist-leaders. Participants from around the globe are selected for their outstanding potential for cultural renewal and education through the arts. We come together creatively, culturally, and collaboratively with a focus to co-create space through exchange of cultural knowledge, practices, and instruction.

DANCING EARTH CREATIONS dynamically activates our mission, to create contemporary dance and related arts through mixed , global indigenous and intercultural relationships centered in ecological and cultural diversity for creativity, health, and wellness.

“We gather as individual artists to create experimental yet elemental dances that reflect our rich cultural heritage as contemporary global peoples. We strive to embody the unique essences of cultural perspectives by creation and renewal of artistic and cultural movement rituals. Ancient and futuristic, our dances are an elemental language of bone and blood memory in motion.”  -Founding Director, Rulan Tangen
