SUMMARY:Native Pride Productions "Inspired by Tradition. Powered by Dance."
DESCRIPTION:Colorful regalia\, pulsating drumming\, and fancy footwork are part of the excitement of a Native American powwow. Feel the excitement and experience the artistry of Native Pride Production dancers as they perform flamboyant movements passed down by their ancestors through song and dance. This special Sunday matinee performance will follow the 5th Annual Shining Mountains Film Festival on Friday\, December 1\, and Saturday\, December 2. \n“By sharing life stories through music\, dance\, and storytelling\, we nurture meaningful communication among all people.”  – Larry Yazzie \nPerformances by Native Pride Productions are internationally recognized\, high-energy shows featuring an innovative blend of modern and traditional Native American dance styles. Performers’ regalia are adorned with vivid assortments of brightly colored ribbons\, feathers\, beads\, and furs – all of which honor their nations’ elders and the legacy of their traditional arts. Native Pride Dancers bring contemporary\, yet primal\, dance to the stage as they use every muscle and breath to express a rich\, cultural heritage. \nLarry Yazzie is a Native American (Meskwaki/Dine) and charismatic performing artist and actor. He is the founder and artistic director of Native Pride Productions now based in Jacksonville\, Florida. A two-time World Champion Fancy Dancer\, Men’s Northern Traditional dancer\, and Eagle Dancer\, Larry grew up on the Meskwaki Settlement in Tama\, Iowa where he learned the traditional ways of his ancestors. Each of these styles of Native American Dance has a unique look and tells a beautiful story through movement and music.   \nLarry’s notable stage performances include appearances at the Walker Art Center\, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts\, Cowles Center\, Reif Performing Arts Center\, the Olympic Games\, The Kennedy Center\, and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington\, D.C.\, and New York City.

SUMMARY:Proactive & Prepared: Wildfire in the Roaring Fork Valley
DESCRIPTION:Wheeler Opera House is pleased to partner with the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley\, Aspen Public Radio and ACES on an event designed to increase awareness and preparedness as wildfire season approaches. \nColorado is experiencing its warmest year in 131 years of record\, and one of its driest. The Roaring Fork Valley sits at the epicenter\, among the hardest-hit areas in the state for severe drought. With snowpack now peaked at historic lows\, climate scientists are drawing comparisons to years that defined what catastrophic wildfire looks like in Colorado. This spring\, wildfire risk across our valley is as serious as it has ever been. \nOn Thursday June 4\, the Wheeler is partnering with the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley\, Aspen Public Radio\, and ACES to bring our community together for a direct conversation about what these conditions mean for our valley\, what local fire departments and researchers are doing about it\, and what each of us can do to protect our homes and our neighbors. \nWe’ll start the presentation at 6pm sharp\, with opportunities for attendees to connect to presenters and panelists in the lobby both before and after the event. \nIf you’ve been wondering where things actually stand\, this is the event to attend. \nUtilizing Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley’s boots-on-the-ground expertise\, Aspen Public Radio’s journalistic prowess\, and ACES’ decades of environmental experience\, an informative evening will review this season’s wildfire outlook\, new predictive technologies and resilience increasing efforts in our region. \nThe evening is organized around three questions:\nWhat are we facing this season?\nWhat is being done about it?\nWhat happens when fire comes? \nDrawing on the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley’s work in fire behavior modeling and fuels mitigation\, Aspen Public Radio’s deep ties to this community\, and ACES knowledge of historic environmental science\, the program brings together the people best positioned to answer those questions — climate scientists\, local fire chiefs\, researchers\, and emergency response leaders — in one room\, for one conversation.
