Horse Dancing and Tasha
Description
"This video tells a story in dance about the two cultures -- Native American and Anglo-Saxon -- and about the evolution of dance itself, from nature. It features the confrontation between Horse Dancing, a young Native America, who is on a vision quest, and Tasha, a young Anglo woman, who is searching in the world of ethnic dance for creative inspiration. They engage in a dialogue of dance, which ranges from anger to trust and culminates as they begin to 'weave a robe' of their two dances. Based on a Lakota (Sioux) legend, the video tells the timeless story of opposites, of polarity and the never-ending process of creativity, and a multicultural celebration of ethnic differences"--Original container.
