The play “Twelve,” explaining the origin of the months and seasons, is based on a traditional Shoshone story as told by Norm Cavanaugh. The play was created and performed by SYLAP participants during the summer of 2014 at the Natural History Museum of Utah. In this video, the play performance is enhanced with interviews about the story and the process of bringing it to life.
