1994 – Ancient Lands – Ancient Peoples was an important early part of the development of MWDCCo environment initiatives. The specific concept of Ancient Lands – Ancient Peoples was to develop an association with shamanic powers and their role in more ancient cultures. Each performance was unique but essentially the same movement materials. The earliest ideas developed around research related to the Utah Project (1988-1996). Path, 1989 during the two-week Yellow Springs residency in Philadelphia, Spirit Path / Migration duet by Withers and Mark Thompson, and Spirit Path / Migration / Remains, quartet generated the movement style and primal intention. In 1993, Maida’s monumental solo, In Winds of Sand further revealed Withers interest in dance and shamanic ideas and practice. The work was developed as a ritual duet and then as solo. In this dramatic work, grounded by the association with the Earth, Maida performs as a primal figure sometimes with painted white face while employing rocks and even plastic tubes flowering from her head as a shaman figure – the power of female creativity emerging from the hole in her head. Variations of the work were performed in Tokyo, Japan, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China; and in Juksan Festival, 50 miles south of Seoul, Korea (Asia Tour 1995) with red earth stage. This video is the documentation of the Juksan Festival Performance.
