From Saskatchewan, Terrance Littletent and Chancz Perry bring to the New Works stage an energetic and heartwarming production that celebrates converging stories and traditions.
The scene is set in a park in Saskatchewan, where an Afro-Caribbean-Canadian hip hop artist and a world-renowned hoop dancer of Cree ancestry meet for the first time. While sharing their dance forms and musical influences, learning about each other’s cultures and customs through dialogue, movement, and mutual exchange, the Artists realize they have much more in common than they had initially anticipated and create a melange of urban hip hop and traditional pow wow: The Hip Hop Hoop Dance.
