dc.description.abstractThe paper unveils the choreographic and economic values of Echeori dance and festival performance. It highlights the residual choreography inherent with Echeori dance performance that could be enhanced, in relevance with the principles of emergent choreography. Significantly, the stand of this paper is hinged against the backdrop that popularizing an indigenous dance performance like Echeori dance will enhance its relevance in our inevitable changing world. In other words, rejuvenating the tangible aesthetic of Echeori dance performance will strengthen the preservation, sustenance and appeal of its intangible aesthetic even in the face of modernity. The study adopts descriptive research method with the application of participant and non participant observation as tools to draw firsthand information through interviews with the custodians of Echeori performance tradition across Ebira land. Consultation of relevant journals, books, literatures, theses and audio-visual documents serves as secondary source of information to authenticate our findings. Based on the theory of cultural transformation, the paper justifies the need and advantages of allowing some degree of acculturation and modification in the tradition of Ebira-Echeori dance performance.en_US
