Institute History
Description
The first two experimental shorts in this program are innovative blends of traditional and modern dance. In The Gift, the relationship between the Iroquois and the ancient grass nurtured into corn by the Mayans is portrayed by two dance pieces choreographed and performed by Santee Smith. The music is performed by the Native a cappella trio Ulali.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
