Dance Dialogues: Tasha Faye Evans

The Dance Centre presents
Dance Dialogues #3

Tasha Faye Evans: Choreography and Coast Salish Art and Design

Tasha Faye Evans’ work initiates a choreographic study of Coast Salish art and design with master carvers and cultural mentors. Through dialogue and demonstration, Tasha introduces her dance making methodology of landing and presencing based on the fundamental shapes and cultural teachings of the Salish eye. In this intimate gathering, witness ancestral shapes  and storytelling translated in the body and carved into space, connecting us to these lands, culture, and all our relations.

Dance Dialogues is a three-part series of talks where artists and scholars delve into the ideas, practices, and provocations that shape contemporary dance and art-making. Engage with thought-provoking perspectives in an open space for critical inquiry and nuanced reflection.
