7:30pm, Wednesday, March 17
Room 201 at The Forks
V.J. Sparvier-Wells, flute & hoop dancer

An immersive evening where music, movement, and memory come together through the work of Cree artist V.J. Sparvier-Wells. Blending flute, hoop dance, and chamber orchestra, this program draws on the sounds, landscapes, and experiences of the Prairies.

V.J. Sparvier-Wells is an Alberta-based Cree multidisciplinary artist. She interweaves land, Indigenous identity, history, and language throughout her dance and music creation/performance practice. A classically trained flutist, she holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Calgary and an MFA in Contemporary Arts from Simon Fraser University. Her work fuses traditional language and dance with her own contemporary experiences as an Indigenous woman and Two-Spirit person.
