Vancouver-based Raven Spirit Dance creates and produces contemporary dance that is rooted in Indigenous worldviews, perspectives, and practices. While the medium is contemporary dance, the troupe is known to incorporate other expressions such as traditional dance, theatre, puppetry and multi-media to tell stories that resonate. By sharing this work on local, national, and international stages, Raven Spirit reaffirms the vital importance of dance to the expression of the human experience and to cultural reclamation, while inspiring engagement and dialogue.
A trio of performances follows three powerful female narratives to explore the physical, the spiritual, the rhythms of nature, resilience, and legacy. From the earth to the stars to the innovative collaboration with Indigenous artists in Peru, the evening promises to be an experience to remember.
Thank you to Joan Farlinger and Salt Spring Coffee for supporting this performance.
