June 18 Cyberspace Performance!
I.F… Indigenous Futurities: Dancing Earth in CyberSpace!
GREETINGS FRIENDS, DREAMERS, CHANGEMAKERS AROUND THE WORLD!
We invite you to join Dancing Earth - Indigenous contemporary dance theater creations - in our first venture into innovative collaborative new media performance! We affirm Cyberspace as a potential realm for Indigenous and InterCultural Liberation, taking responsibility to reimagine a more equitable, balanced, and beautiful world through the unique power of performing arts!
And we want you to join us on this venture!! We invite you to engage in a participatory way, to bring your intentions with you for this contemporary ritual. To prepare we ask you to:
1) Bring a cup of water to drink from (or a reusable water bottle!)
2) In a notebook, write down someone, or something to be part of a dedication, for this ritual of transformation.
3) Write your response to the question: “What do you as a human wish to say to other humans, at this time?"
4) Write your response to the question: “What do you as a human wish to say to Earth/Water/Sky, at this time?
5) With a few symbolic words or a phrase, what is your dream for the future?
6) Bring a candle, flashlight, or luminaria (can use a tea light in a brown paper bag!)
Stay tuned, we may be sharing a FOLDER for you to share these intentions,
Please contact TisinaT.DancingEarth@gmail.com to get the DropBox links to add indoor responses, for integration before, during, and after our cyber performance ritual!
This is like a treasure hunt and we are still figuring out the map, and the clues, as they are being revealed to us!
We extend our gratitude to Colorado College 3X3 and Toasterlab for support of this vision! Read more about 3X3 Projects HERE.

6:30pm PDT . 9:30pm EDT
Toasterlab presents I.F. : Indigenous Futurities : Dancing Earth in CyberSpace livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv.
Collaborating artist visionaries reveal cyberspace as a realm of ritual, to reimagine the future from the brink of collapse of the dominant system and re-emergence of Indigenous cosmologies. Technology is reclaimed to affirm connections between distant places and times. At a time of DisDancing: what is the message from human-to-human; what is the sacred invisible web that connects us? We reach into the constellations to remember ancestral stories of creation after destruction, to guide us forward.

EXPLORING THE QUESTIONS
Ritual - to reimagine the future that we are stepping into , and what are are the superhero powers/innate purposes in life/guiding philosophies that we are conjuring and embodying to get there
ReCreation post apocalypse: what are our creation stories that can teach us about resilience in the remaking of the world
What is the Message from Humans to Earth of Love in a Time of Corona?
During these dark times, what is the light that each of us carries, as constellations?
At a time of DisDancing: what is the message from human-to-human; what is the sacred invisible web that connects us?
Can intuition, imagination, and Indigenous science that parallels quantum theory, bring us together over vast distances of places, time , difference to meet in the spaces between - the connective tissue, the flow, the infinite, liminal space, the life force energy we all share?
