11. Performances

 

In October 2003 I met two native dancers from Canada: Ernie Philip (Little Shuswap Band, Canada) and his daughter Marla.
Ernie is also the Cultural Coordinator for the Quaaout Lodge Resort.

They came here for a project organized by David Krapfenbauer from the "All-Round Event Management".

The two stayed in Austria for three weeks and together we danced at several schools and had one evening-show in Vienna.

Here are some pics.

In March 2004 I had a 3 day seminar in methods of teaching and communicating.
When the seminar was finished I had to give a presentation. My subject was "Native American Dances".

In my presentation I used flipcharts, pinboards and my Traditional Outfit.
At the end of the presentation we put on some real good Pow Wow music and the class and I made a dance around the tables in the classroom.
