Made in BC presents Dance Makers & Authors in Conversation online on April 15 at 2 pm

CHOREOGRAPHERS AND wordsmiths may have more in common than you think.

Find out what, as some of the city’s dance artists talk shop with its best-known writers and storytellers in a unique Made in BC streamed event that brings the worlds of movement and words together.

In this streamed event, writer-dancer-choreographer Ahalya Satkunaratnam has a meeting of minds with Aina Yasué; Coast Salish storyteller Celestine Aleck chats with choreographer Holly Bright; and SFU professor Peter Dickinson exchanges ideas with some of the dance artists featured in his recent book—Justine Chambers and Ziyian Kwan.

Tune in as they riff on everything from collaborating, influences, and creative process. Alyssa Amarshi moderates.
