The Little People
A captivating journey through the world of the small spirit people. Based on traditional Cherokee stories and family narratives, the piece explores the many ways of being of little people. Their joyful, compassionate, mischievous, and revengeful natures: their shifts between worlds and crossings over.
Alternately, the piece considers the value of traditional beliefs and the reclamation of a conscious Native identity. All are vibrantly brought to life through dance, narration, Cherokee language, visual art and video: a multimedia treat.
