Dance Dialogues: Choreography and Coast Salish Art & Design

The Dance Centre’s series of talks Dance Dialogues features a presentation by Indigenous artist Tasha Faye Evans.

Tasha’s work initiates a choreographic study of Coast Salish art and design with master carvers and cultural mentors. Through dialogue and demonstration, Tasha will introduce her dance making methodology of landing and presencing based on the fundamental shapes and cultural teachings of the Salish eye. In this intimate gathering, witness ancestral shapes and storytelling translated in the body and carved into space, connecting us to these lands, culture, and all our relations.

She will be joined by special guests including Sḵwx̱wú7mesh master carver Xwalacktun OBC.
