Gitano's Quest

This project is based on a six-scene story involving characters of different ethnicities interpreted through dance. The community relations focusing on this project will occur through a workshop with school-aged youth between nine and thirteen years of age who will develop scenes from the story through improvisational theater and art. Participants from the community will then be invited to watch the entire production performed by students from the UNM Theater and Dance Department.
