While holding firm in his political stance, Alliger emphasizes that dance can be a completely unobtrusive form of activism. This past Columbus Day, for example, Dance Umbrella staged a two-day "Pow-wow" at the Hatch Shell in Boston. This festival brought together a variety of Native American and Latin music, dance, crafts, storytelling and theater to provide a different perspective of the 500th anniversary of the "discovery" of America. "This event was meant to be educational, not confrontational," claims Alliger. "We were celebrating 500 years of survival of the Native American people...
Dance Umbrella holds performances everywhere in Boston, from the Hatch Shell to the Cyclorama (where the aerial dancers performed) to Emerson College's Majestic Theatre.

...SIDE! HELP!" Those words are stenciled -- in English -- on the side of every Soyuz landing craft, the lifeboat that RUSSIAN COSMONAUTS use when they return to earth. The instructions continue: "Take the key. Put into the hole. Turn. Open the hatch." Who knows? One of these days, a farmer in Nebraska or North Dakota might be following those directions. Should the two cosmonauts now orbiting in Russia's Mir space station need to make an emergency landing outside designated areas in the former Soviet Union, the Russians have told the U.S. State Department their destination of choice would be America...
