- Summary
- Unedited footage of an interview with Erick Hawkins, who converses with two off-camera interviewers (possibly Robin Wilson, with an unidentified man), and a discussion onstage among Hawkins, some members of his company, Wilson, and teen-aged students. Excerpts from the discussion appear on *MGZIA 4-1589 Erick Hawkins: Killer-of-enemies: the divine hero. Among the topics discussed by Hawkins are various aspects of his works Killer-of-enemies and Plains daybreak, including the inspiration of Native American dancing and mythology, the symbolism of various characters in Killer-of-enemies, his collaboration with Alan Hovhaness and Ralph Lee, and his use of text in the dance. He also discusses the function of myth as a means of expression, the religious function of dance, and his thoughts on old age and his long career.
