A professional contemporary dance company based just outside Washington, D.C. in Bethesda, MD, Christopher K. Morgan & Artists creates work from a belief in the urgency of live performance in an increasingly isolating, commercial, and digital world. Founded in July 2011, as a vehicle for Morgan’s choreographic exploration of social and cultural issues, the company provides a creative outlet for its artists and collaborators through virtuosic and expressive dance performances.
In these community engagement workshops, participants learn the Hawaiian lei-making technique of hilo (twisting). Using Hawaiian ti leaves, each participant creates a small lei to take home. Participants then share stories about their identities, sense of belonging, home, and ancestry— all relevant themes from the performance Native Intelligence/Innate Intelligence.
