Reinventing Traditional Alaska Native Performance

by Thomas Riccio

Dr. Riccio's work vividly demonstrates the capacity of the human being, whomever they are, to cross over the gap that unfortunately exists between people. Dr. Riccio through the mechanism of theatre, has cleverly built a bridge between differing worldviews, and has done it well. This kind of bridging is magical and sometimes mystical, which is appropriate for Alaska native cultures and the art of performance.
