Native artist Rosy Simas pulls various threads to build a bold new dance work, 'Weave'

Rosy Simas' dance pieces don't tell a story. They have no obvious narrative arc. But they are built with stories.

Stories of her grandmother, stories steeped in her Seneca history. For her newest creation, "Weave," the acclaimed Native American choreographer had her diverse cast of performers dig into their own histories, unearthing movements that Simas then wove together with images and sound. It was tough, taxing work.
