TransMigration is a visually raw and engaging story inspired by
the life and paintings of iconic Ojibwe shaman-artist Norval Morrisseau.
TransMigration is a dialogue, a response to Morrisseau’s vision, struggles
and brilliance as an artist. TransMigration celebrates Morrisseau’s visual
language through dance, music and design. Vibrating with colour, energy, and
sensuality, TransMigration is a reflection of humanity and the power of
spirit to transform and transcend.
On the night of the worst snowstorm of the year in Montréal, I trekked through the sleet and wind to a small dance space called Tangente to see the touring performance of Indigenous Dancelands, a program of three works by aboriginal Canadians: Gaétan Gingras performing “Mémoire de sang”; Michelle Olson and Kimberly Tuson (Raven Spirit Dance) in “Songs of Shär Cho”; and Santee Smith and Michael Greyeyes (Kaha:wi Dance Theatre) in “The Threshing Floor”.
There are lots of upcoming screen dance festivals in Canada this Summer. Continuum, WAREHAUS Dance Collective’s recent collaboration with filmmaker David Phu, will premiere at the Festival of Recorded Movement (FORM) on June 17, at the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts in Vancouver. The Dance Current has also included a survey list of new, ongoing and upcoming Canadian screen dance festivals and showings.
