Winifred Haun & Dancers perform with Unalakleet and Nome dancers
[]
The Nome Nugget
The performance was the collaborative effort of Winifred Haun & Dancers, a Chicago-based contemporary dance company, Uŋalaqłiq Iñuutchak, a Unalakleet traditional dance group and local Nome dancers.
The show featured performances from Nomeites, performances from Winifred Haun & Dancers and traditional dance performances taught to the group by Uŋalaqłiq Iñuutchak.
Winifred Haun, the founder of Winifred Haun & Dancers, explained that the idea for the project came from a former member of the group who lived in Nome for a few years.
She taught the dancers from Winifred Haun & Dancers several dances.
Part of the philosophy of Winifred Haun & Dancers is performing in community spaces – parks, libraries, museums, old houses, parks and street corners.
