We would like to thank Elder Latash Nahanee from the Squamish Nation and Elder Shane Pointe from the Musqueam Nation for taking the time to share with us their wisdom and beautiful memories.
What an honor it has been to listen to you both!
It was so nurturing and inspiring: our creative team has learnt a lot and has seen new horizons opening for our research on Debris.

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.
Consider supporting us with a year-end donation! Any amount helps!

Working remotely can be a challenge but is also inspiring. It opens to new opportunities and locations: a boat on Vancouver Island, a living room in Ottawa, a bedroom in Abbotsford…
Thank you very much Juan Villegas, Alisha Davidson and Matt Wyllie! It was great to virtually meet with you. Good material was found!
It felt so good to be back in the studio, even if it was just for a couple of hours. Thank you very much Eowynn Enquist and Arash Khakpour for meeting with Paras for a one-on-one research workshop!
