Spencer Theater Promoting the Arts
07.12.11 (ALTO, NM) -- As we prepare to celebrate New Mexico's centennial we take a look at a venue helping promote the arts.
The Spencer Theater in Alto, New Mexico is quickly becoming a part of the state's rich history.
New Mexico is filled with culture and diversity and nowhere is it more evident than in the southern part of the state, in our own backyard.
The Spencer Theatre that's what we bring to this area and to the whole state of New Mexico, through artists and the performing art there's no other way to express cultural diversity and that's what we're about here, that's our mission is to bring cultural diversity to the patron, said Charles Centilli, executive director of the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts.
It official opened in 1997, but 15 years went into planning for the 50, 000 square foot facility -- named one of seven outstanding theatres in the world by the United States institute for theatre technology.
When they step into the auditorium it is of course acoustically sound, its very intimated setting, and you're seeing these nationally performances that you normally would see in the 1500 to 3000 seat house, but here you're only in a five hundred seat house so your further seat from the stage is only five feet, he said.
The design of the stage helps make the audience a part of every performance. Leaders say the theatre has become a monument of sorts in the state as people travel from all over just to see it.
This is meant to resemble a glassier. It has a lot of natural light, which is a unique aspect to this theatre. The lobby is 300 paints of glass and its made to look like a prism or a diamond, said Kathleen McDonald, publicist for the facility.
The Spencer Theater hosts about 40 performances a year and is constantly working with local groups and children on programming.
We have featured a lot of New Mexico artist, we have raised the cultural horizon in the area, who have never had the experience with the theater before and to be exposed to a diversity in the arts and different perspectives on life and the human experience, lots of entertaining musicians, comedy and all sorts of works, she said.

Fort Stanton, N.M. Hat Dance
This dance was performed at Fort Stanton, NM on July 13, 2013
The Hat Dance:
In this dance 3 chairs are placed at the end between 2 rows of people.
In the middle chair sits a male or female holding a hat in their lap.
On each side of them sit a person of the other gender.
The person holding the hat convinces either person sitting next to them to dance and hands the hat to the person they did not choose.
The partners then dance down the middle of the two rows taking a standing place at the end of the rows.
The Change:
The person who did not get chosen to dance now takes the middle chair and has their choice of partners.
Two dancers of the other gender from either the male or female line take a chair next to the middle chair.
Eventually everyone gets chosen or gets to choose and the lines move forward in progression.

Mark Harris, AIA
He apprenticed under Antoine Predock, FAIA, where his early theoretical and practical frameworks of cultural excavations and environmental stewardship were formulated and expanded. His current emerging work, which centers on latent social and environmental narratives within architecture, has recently received numerous national and international awards. Mr. Harris' work has been noted as 'visionary, bold, and evocative, creating a cohesive and probing architecture that is both powerful and highly symbolic. His early formulations of Hybrid Architectures, manifested in his recent Billboard House project and his Remote UN Security Council Chambers project, garnered him the prestigious 2003 American Architecture Award.
Considered an emerging voice in architecture, he has been a visiting lecturer, conference speaker, and studio critic at major national and international universities , and donates his time and talents to several overseas children's charities in Russia and Romania.
