Talking Truths: The Power of Circles
Talking Truths: The Power of Circles
CDA invites you to an intimate conversation with Indigenous artists. Created and facilitated by Olivia C. Davies, we aim to welcome a space of open learning.
Curatorial Statement:
We all are carrying stories in our bodies. Choosing how these stories will be revealed through the act of choreography is an act of cultural continuation by Indigenous dance artists. Contemporary Indigenous dance provides a fluid container for the stories, myths, legends, and fantasies of the creator and their collaborators. Elements of blood memory interwoven with patterns from the natural and artificial worlds we live in often combine to bring about new ways of expressing self-determination. In this Talking Truths circle conversation, four exceptional Indigenous choreographers from across Turtle Island come together to share a discussion around their ways of incorporating care-centred practices in new creations. Witnesses are invited to join our circle and listen as ideas are shared in a spirit of generosity and openness to learn.
