Meditative Movement and Creative Reflection with Vee
Advertisement
Organized by: Pokaiks Reconciliation Society — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/105889748711
Vee will lead participants in guided movement and voice with the aid of music, focussing on creativity and reflection.
Open to all bodies and abilities, meditative movement asks the participant to focus on themselves. Participants will explore guided movement and voice both in place and moving about the room. Gentle music both recorded and live bring a sense of calm to the session. There is a written/drawing component to this workshop.
Please bring water, clothes to move in, sock feet/moccasins, and a notebook with pencil/pen
Vee has been practicing meditative movement since stepping foot in an Indigenous contemporary dance class in 2008. She is an Alberta-based Cree, multi-disciplinary artist and member of Cowessess FN in SK. A classically trained flutist, she holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary and an MFA in Contemporary Arts from Simon Fraser University. Vee currently resides in Cochrane, Alberta, and has worked for the City of Calgary as Curator of Indigenous Art. She is also co-founder and co-director of Wild Mint Arts, an Indigenous arts company, and is a Laureate of the Hnatyshyn Foundation REVEAL Indigenous Art Awards (2017).
This workshop is part of the 'Telling Our Stories' Indigenous Arts residence facilitated by Pokaiks Reconciliation Society and Sparrow Artspace. This residency has been generously funded by Calgary Arts Development.
