‘Sèng Wah’
A peforming-arts short film
The Story
A young dancer from San Ildefonso Pueblo shares her journey of self-reflection and gathering ancestral strength to discover her voice and confidence as an artist.
The Production
'Sèng Wah' is the first in a short-film series for a program called Azhish. In Diné Bizaad “Azhish!” means to move with tenacity and passion. We harness the spirit of azhish in our native youth program, which seeks to connect indigenous performance artists to their cultural roots while infusing contemporary techniques that are relevant to their present-day lived experience.
