Clinton, NY – Hamilton College Performing Arts presents the Christopher K Morgan and Artists Contemporary Dance in Native Intelligence/Innate Intelligence on Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 pm in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center.
Native Intelligence/Innate Intelligence incorporates dance, Hawaiian chant & percussion, original compositions for cello, and multimedia scenic design to examine ancestry, home, and belonging. Collaborators explored the origins of instinct, nature vs. nurture, which aspects of our identities are shaped by our environment, and how our ancestry impacts our personalities and identities.
With live music by electric cellist Wytold and Hawaiian chanter/percussionist Patrick Makuakane, the work creates a comprehensive picture of the multiplicity of identities we all navigate, and invite audiences to reflect on their perception of Native people, their own identities, and instinct. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for students. For more information, call the box office at (315) 859-4331 or visit http://www.hamilton.edu/performingarts. This performance is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.
