-What Are You?-

November 7-24, 2024

7 Stages Theatre • 1105 Euclid Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30307

What Are You? is an exploration of what it means to be multi-racial in America. Created and performed by Nicolette Emanuelle, who has roots in the Lumbee tribe of North Carolina, this original production delves into the complexities of racial identity through a blend of movement, music, and personal testimonies. Confronting the relentless question “what are you?” Nicolette weaves together striking and moving commonalities found in interviews with other multi-racial individuals, highlighting their unique struggles and the beauty of their identities.

-PowWow-

November 16 & 17, 2024

1136 Austin Ave, NE • Atlanta, GA. 30307

Tatankala “Buffalo” Yellowbird of Zintkala Zi PowWow returns to Little Five points with his third annual First Voices Festival PowWow, featuring intertribal celebrations of culture, dance, song, crafts, food, and pageantry. A member of the Lakota Sioux Nation, Buffalo is well respected in Indigenous communities offering expertise, love, and joy on the mic as the master of ceremonies. At noon both days, the Grand Entry fills the circle with a company of dancers in full regalia taking audiences and participants on a journey of storytelling and cultural sharing through a variety of traditional dances like the Jingle Dress and Fancy dances. The dancers are surrounded by Indigenous jewelry, arts, and crafts, traditional demonstrations, and food including Fry Bread from our friends at Three Sisters Soulfood! This year, look out for hands-on crafting tents for the young ones. Entry is complimentary, family-friendly, and everyone is welcome!

History

In 2022, 7 Stages teamed up with Turtle Island Trading, Zintkala Zi PowWow, and The Little 5 Points Business Association to bring a multifaceted festival to the city of Atlanta that celebrates Indigenous cultures, people, and practices. Many groups of performers, vendors, and various tribes were invited to a PowWow in Little Five Points, which is the home of 7 Stages and many cultural institutions. The PowWow was accompanied by an Art of Activism dialogue with Muscogee/Creek elder and fine flute maker William Harjo, and complimentary meals provided by Three Sisters Soulfood. We also welcomed singer/songwriter and Native American flute player Shelley Morningsong (Northern Cheyenne and Scandinavian) and Fabian Fontenelle (Zuni/Omaha) for an evening of performances and 7 Stages.

Following the success of the first year, we extended the PowWow to a two day event in 2023, invited William Harjo back for storytelling and flute performances, and partnered with Plaza Theatre for a special screening of RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked The World.
