Dancing Earth’s director Rulan Tangen was named “One of the Top 25 To Watch” by Dance Magazine in 2007, and her work continues to be recognized for its unique expression of Indigenous worldview as evolved by an all-Native cast and crew. Of Bodies Of Elements is performed by eight dancers exploring the relationship between humanity and nature in work that gives mythic narrative a contemporary relevance. Creation themes and adaptations of ancient stories and dances become metaphors for assimilation, colonization, oppression and the regenerating force of nature. An Indigenous worldview is reflected in every aspect of the production, from lighting design to body paint, all created by Native collaborators. Eco-sustainable design and production of this new work reinforces the importance of Indigenous ecology, not only in theme but in execution.
