Dance Myth
African rain dance myth?
I want to create a short story that incorporates the African rain dance myth in a more urban and modern environment so that people can regulate to it. Nothing about droughts or crops growing seeing as that is not an issue in cities today. I have already come up with some of my own but I want to explore more ideas. Thanks
Approaching is as a myth or as a ritual?
Relating characters and the spirit of a dance ritual. Like shamanism "wisdom of nature":
