Directional Honouring with Sophie Dow

Live ASL Interpreted Event

A movement workshop with 2021 Commissioned Artist Sophie Dow, whose film MOUNTAIN DUETS premieres directly following this session as part of the Commissioned Artists’ Friday Film Screening.

Listen, gather, explore the reciprocity of the circle and cycles within our stories, memories from the earth and the imprints within our own bodies. This workshop welcomes folks of all ages to move and reflect as they embody understandings through a few of the origin teachings of Turtle Island. Traveling through a series of choreographic tools that were used to invent the choreography seen in Sophie’s commissioned film MOUNTAIN DUETS, you are invited to consider what you carry in your personal bundle. What tools do you use as support when you find yourself out of balance? Together, we’ll tour a series of teachings naturally ingrained in our bones by proxy of living and residing as human beings on this planet.

Please note this workshop has a maximum of 15 participants. Pass holders will be contacted before the festival to RSVP to limited-capacity events.
