of Ms. Eno's work, both educational and performance-oriented, is
fused with Native American Sign Language creating a

style reflecting her own American

areas of research interest are in the further refinement and

environmental dance may bring innovation to the field of environmental
education and (2)
how environmental dance may be used to demonstrate the human body as
an extension of the natural
environment.
