“We have seen strange things today,” said the big bull to the others of his herd. “The man we trampled to death is again alive… Now…we shall teach you our own dance and song, which you are never to forget.” For these were to be the magical means by which the buffalo killed by the people in the future would be restored to life…

(Myths To Live By)

The dance that is being passed from buffalo to man is one that creates life by recreating death – that is, by performing a once-lived experience. This process of dynamic recreation is multidimensional: it necessitates an engagement with history; a negotiation between then and now.The performance then provides a portal, a brief opportunity for unrestricted travel, to disparate moments in space and time.
