The 50th Annual Thunderbird American Indian Dancers Pow Wow at Theater for the New City, plays from Friday, January 10 to Sunday the 19th. All proceeds benefit Native American scholarship fund.
There will be dances, stories and traditional music from Native Peoples of the Northeast, Southwest and Great Plains regions. The Pow Wow is also a reunion for native peoples nationwide and an opportunity for the non-Indian community to voyage into the philosophy and beauty of Native culture. Throughout the performance, all elements are explained in depth through detailed introductions by the troupe’s Director and Emcee Louis Mofsie (Hopi/Winnebago). Pageantry is an important component of the event, and all participants are elaborately dressed. There is a wealth of cultural information encoded in the movements of each dance. More than ten distinct tribes will be represented in the performance.
$20 general admission. At all matinée performances, children ages five to twelve who are accompanied by a ticket-bearing adult are admitted for $1.00.
Fridays at 8:00 PM; Saturdays at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Sundays at 3:00 PM. For tickets and more information, please visit www.theaterforthenewecity.net
