Saturday, October 11-Repeat dance performance at 1:00 pm

Ten dancers from the Ohkay Owingeh/San Juan Pueblo north of Santa Fe, will share their celebrative dances with traditional drums and authentic dress. These performances will give the audience a close-up view of the historically mysterious and magnetic Pueblo culture and dance, as represented by a vibrant young family. A question and answer period will follow. Following the dance performance, the Chapel will host the Houston premiere of the recent documentary “Dancing from the Heart,” that features the Tewa Dancers from the North. In the film, Andrew Garcia talks about his efforts to maintain Pueblo spiritual and cultural traditions while reconciling his heritage with contemporary life. The film’s director and producer, Marilyn Hunt, a dance expert in New York and Santa Fe, will moderate a conversation with the dancers and the audience following the film.
