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 commemorates this significant event.
