Chester Playhouse presents Dancing the Seven Teachings

October 9 @ 7:30 pm

Dancing the Seven Teachings is a program rooted in the desire to create new dance works imbued with ancient knowledge. A family-friendly program of two pieces, each brings a different story through the art of Indigenous hoop dancing, ballet, and contemporary dance.

The two works are Bears Stars and Trees and Trickster’s Romeo and Juliet.

Bears Stars and Trees:
When nature is injured, the wisdom of the seven teachings brings hope for the future. This work is the result of a collaboration between contemporary and Indigenous artists, a meeting ground with Ballet and traditional Indigenous hoop dance.

Bears Stars and Trees is a unique work that started in 2016, guided by Elder Shirely Horn, and created with a team of Indigenous and Western-tradition artists.
