Niimin Dance Dans
Immerse yourself in cultural heritage, healing, movement, and community.
Niimin Dance Dans is a live performance by Kristin Snowbird and Theo Pelmus, which combines jingle dress dancing with pagan pre-Christian Romanian dance, combining these married artists' respective intangible cultural heritages.
Performed against a projected background of the artists dancing The Niimin Dance Dans at sunrise, noon and sunset in the Romanian hills where Pelmus' family still reside. Artist Kristin Snowbird, a former competitive dancer, mounts a live performance of her endurance artwork that both connects to the roots of fancy shawl and jingle dress dancing as healing and her visionary revision of the jingle garment, flattening the bells to create an armor-like structure. The sound made by her costume will be magnified and echo through the hills surrounding this village.
Kristin invites all to join her in dance as a form of prayer and healing for a world that needs it more than ever.
This event is presented with New Dance Horizons, co-directed by renowned visual artist Edward Poitras and dance artist Robin Poitras and Sâkêwêwak Artists' Collective.
