We are glad to announce that, as part of our Dance Lab residency with the Dance Centre, we will be working with our dancers this week, researching for our new work, called Debris.
We are also very excited to ‘virtually’ meet with Elder Latash Maurice Nahanee from the Squamish Nation and Elder Shane Pointe from the Musqueam Nation, who will share with us their views on pollution. We can’t thank them enough for taking the time and feel so lucky to be given the opportunity to benefit from Indigenous wisdom on our relationship with our land and sea.
