Men's fancy dancer Perry Thompson performs in Navajo regalia during "Spirit - The 7th Fire of Alaska," a multicultural, multimedia production that runs Feb. 20-22 in the Discovery Theatre at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The production is a collaboration between the Alaska Native Heritage Center, Theatre Artists United and the Alaska Dance Theatre.

With more than 80 performers involved, "Spirit -- The 7th Fire of Alaska" will be one of the biggest productions seen at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts this year. It may also be the most impressive from the perspective of a specifically Alaska art event.

Billed as a "multi-cultural rock and dance spectacular," the show includes modern dancers from Alaska Dance Theatre, traditional dancers from the Alaska Native Heritage Center, champion Native American dancers from the Lower 48, a rock orchestra, vocalists, video, lots of drums and the Alaska Children's Choir.
