Gathering Light

Gathering Light – (Choreographed by Michelle Olson) is a contemporary dance work for five dancers. The piece explores the journey from seed to flower, the stirrings of consciousness to the full bloom embrace of transformation. The seed has to imagine itself a flower and follow that first drop of desire.  Recent Performances included the Noon Dance series at the Scotia Dance Centre on Thursday September 24th 2009

Luk T’äga Näche

Luk T’äga Näche – (Salmon Girl Dreaming - Choreographed by Michelle Olson) explores the emotional landscape and dreams of a young woman trying to remember what has been lost. Through contemporary dance and puppetry, Luk T’äga Näche delves into the questions of identity and cultural inheritance.
