On the Boards is thrilled to present Christopher Morgan’s NATIVE INTELLIGENCE/INNATE INTELLIGENCE as part of our 2022/23 Season.

NATIVE INTELLIGENCE/INNATE INTELLIGENCE incorporates dance, Hawaiian chant and percussion, original compositions for cello, and multimedia scenic design to examine ancestry, home, and belonging. Native Intelligence/Innate Intelligence creates a comprehensive picture of the multiplicity of identities we all navigate and invites the audience to reflect on their perception of Native people, their own identities, and their instinct. This work asks us each to consider who we are, to reflect on where we come from, and to wonder about ways of knowing that are both inherited and learned.

This 60-minute performance was presented four times between April 13 – April 16, 2023. On the evening performance on April 14, we also planned a post-show conversation with audience members and the artists.
