Description

A dynamic workshop guided by Wen Wei Wang, a distinguished choreographer. This workshop is designed to help participants develop a unique personal language through their own body and movement, using creative thinking to express cultural identity, individuality, and individual voice.

About Instructor:

Wen Wei received the Clifford E. Lee Choreographic Award, the Rio Tinto Alcan, and the Isadora Awards for Choreography. He choreographed the dance sections for the Vancouver Opera and the San Francisco Opera for Nixon in China and received the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Award in 2013.

​​

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
