Join the Coastal Dance Festival and MOA for Radical Re-shifting of Imbalances, a special Artist Sharing Series.
The Artist Sharing Series: Radical Re-shifting of Imbalances is a four-part series where artists featured in the Coastal Dance Festival will share their processes and practices by way of discourse, movement, song, story and multimedia. The discourse will address Indigenizing spaces by asserting ways of knowing that are embedded in Indigenous song and dance, as well as, preparing oneself for active witnessing to reshape the lens through which Indigenous arts are acknowledged.
This series is an opportunity to actively learn about Indigenous dance through the vast histories and stories of the Indigenous artists and communities represented at the festival.
The Dancers of Damelahamid, in partnership with MOA and the Anvil Centre, present the 18th annual Coastal Dance Festival. The Festival is a celebration of the stories, songs and dances of the Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast with guest national and international artists. The Festival brings Indigenous artists together to share and support one another in a celebration of lived artistic practices. Guest national and international artists have connected the festival with a global community of Indigenous dance. The Coastal Dance Festival takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the qəyqəyt (Qayqayt), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), q̓ʷainƛ̓ən (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) peoples.
