Performing “Wolf: A Transformation”. An Indigenous Masked Dance Choreographed by Daystar/Rosalie Jones.
Guest artist, Bogotá, Colombian born, Daniel Fetecua Soto (Fetecua), the magnificent former soloist with the Limón Dance Company, opens Kanopy’s 2024/25 season in Polaris. The concert offers area audiences a rare opportunity to see the choreographic work of the first indigenous modern dance company in the U.S., Daystar: Contemporary Dance Drama of Indian America, founded by Daystar/Rosalie Jones, (Daystar), in 1980.
The masked dance, “Wolf: A Transformation”, was expressly gifted to Fetecua by Daystar to continue its legacy in the spirit of the honored American Indian custom of preserving and passing on important cultural traditions to future generations. The masks for the dance were custom created for Fetecua by renowned Hopi woodcarver Timothy Talawepi. In a special guest appearance, Daystar will introduce and narrate the signature work.
Fetecua will also present two original choreographies channeling his native Colombian roots with an interplay of modern dance techniques including that of José Arcadio Limón: “Pacha-Mama”, a solo and “Rejoice: Returning Home”, a group ensemble.
