Performances by -
Traveler -  Traveler is a multi-cultural musical experience fusing Gypsy, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Greek and Turkish styles with Rock-n-Roll.  The sound is an innovative, new fusion of World Music and Rock-n-Roll. Using traditional ethnic instruments combined with all the power of a full blown rock band, their performances are intense, exotic and adrenaline-driven.

Amy Marshall Dance Company - Amy Marshall Dance Company was founded in 2000 in order to realize a vision of dance theater as a visual metaphor for the human spirit. Ms. Marshall’s choreography pays tribute to both the beauty and tribulations of life’s experiences through dramatic movement. The work’s emotional structure explodes across the stage with dramatic confrontation and then suddenly resolves itself into a poignancy of classical dimensions. The virtuosic performance of the dancers leaves audiences awed and delighted.  During the past ten years Amy Marshall Dance Company has performed and taught across North America, Europe and Asia. Through these performances, master classes and dance workshops, the company has inspired audiences and invigorated young dancers in a way that will both challenge and reward them all for years to come.

St Innocent Academy Music and Dance Troupe
Performing ethnic dance music from around the world, the band of seven musicians plays and myriad of Western, Eastern European and Mediterranean instruments to accompany a 10-12 member dance group.   St. Innocent’s Academy is an alternative educational program for young men of high school age and older from Kodiak, AK.  It encompasses both those considered “at-risk” and stable young men alike.  With regard to the arts, we stress their active use in the performance of songs, plays, and other artistic expressions in the local community.
