Instructor: Margaret Grenier

Description

This session is instructed by Margaret Grenier, Executive and Artistic Director of Dancers of Damelahamid. Margaret is an acclaimed choreographer and cultural leader of Gitxsan and Cree ancestry whose work bridges ancestral Indigenous dance forms with contemporary expression.

Designed as an all-level, movement-based experience, the workshop invites participants to explore the diverse styles of Coastal Indigenous dance. Margaret will guide participants through movement techniques while sharing their cultural significance and the vital role of story and traditional knowledge in Indigenous dance.

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.
