About the Workshop:
Home/Body, Home/Land is a three-day, site specific performance workshop held in partnership with and on the traditional territories of the Métis, Anishinaabe and Cree communities in Manitoba. Through our work we will explore the histories of the land we are on, creating interconnections and linkages between the land and the body through movement and physical interactions with the land and one another. We will facilitate creating relationship to the land by allowing our bodies to tap into the histories of the site and observing the cycles, changes, and movements of the land we are on, building a mimetic series of gestures that reflect the environment and embrace the land as teacher and guide.
*As lunch is provided, when registering for the workshop, please indicate any dietary restrictions. Please also include any access needs that you have as well as transportation resources and requirements, ie. access to a vehicle and how many seats, or if needing a ride.
About Jaime:
