New Works in Progress
Maize, the Golden Thread explores the legends and rituals of Indigenous people about corn, reflecting a sophisticated knowledge about the environment, biodiversity and spirituality. Their practices reflect a basic understanding that sustainability is not just an option, but it is a necessity! We know that corn transformed humans from hunters and gatherers to a new level of social organization and division of labor, which provided opportunities for the first works of art.
Fran Spector Atkins, an award-winning choreographer. Her works have been presented nationally and internationally in Denmark, England, Taiwan, Egypt, and Guam. Spector Atkins creates her dance/media works in collaboration with William Roden, media consultant. She also collaborates Kurt Burkhart, composer and musician.
