About Miigis
Miigis represents the “the perfect breath” of life, a symbol that informs our origin story of travel from the Atlantic Coast to the Great Lakes. Fusing contemporary Indigenous dance with athleticism in an extraordinary form, Miigis explores the catalysts for movement, ancestral forces and living memory, and the cycle of life.
About Trace
Trace is a highly kinetic contemporary dance work inspired by Indigenous (Anishinaabe) sky and star stories. Our ancestral origins stretch across the Milky Way to the atoms burning inside of us in the here and now. Trace offers a glimpse into our origin as the star people as well as our future evolution.
About the Interviews
Interviews with Artistic Director Sandra Laronde and celebrated collaborators, including Jera Wolfe (choreographer), Eliot Britton (composer), Don Kavanaugh (Elder), Jules McCusker (social activator), and Jenifer Brousseau (vocalist).
