How do we continually refine our artistic practices individually and collectively for creative strategies for HOPE and UNDERSTANDING, decolonization and collectivity, integrating nature, queer aesthetics and art-making for world-building?
We invite the audience and public to join us in practices such as land-based embodiment, collective dreaming, and communal singing spanning a range of genres “feeling and acting together”.
Through these shared experiences, we aim to explore collective existence, drawing from our personal, cultural, and embodied practices.
What we are working on… working on us…
We sing songs we have made up, a dancing choir which includes Gospel, Spice’s Viva Forever, and Moon River to name a few.
We explore breathwork with balloons as material to capture our collective breath and blow up the suffocation of capital strain and over-materialized environments.
A physical articulation and movement study of the spine connects our ability to navigate sequences and fractures. How the sequence of the spine is located in the centre of ourself and each movement affects and articulates the other parts of the spine. A metaphor for small actions making large impacts.
We bring together land-based traditions from Northern Ontario, Barbadian, Guyanese, and Anishinaabe cultures, blending them with urban living to create connections through physical experiences, stories, and community singing.
We work into Dreaming meditation since dreams are an inherent part of us. By opening up our dreams and those of our audience, we're engaging in a bold act of envisioning.
We are “Reading Dances” as a practice of describing and dedicating the dance to someone as it is happening, to capture dance in its essence and value it’s multiplicity of perspectives in every moment.
