The Dance Centre is presenting an evening double bill featuring Spine of the Mother by Raven Spirit Dance and Conversations: Hidden Stories by Vanguardia Dance Projects and Aanmitaagzi. Performances are taking place on December 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm.

Both of these works trace stories, memories, and connection across landscapes and generations. Raven Spirit Dance’s Spine of the Mother explores the body as a landscape and its kinetic connection to the Andean mountain range that Elders call the “Spine of Mother Earth”, which links the North and South across continents.

Sharing the program, Vanguardia Dance Projects and Aanmitaagzi’s collaboration Conversations: Hidden Stories explores the culture and stories that connect the artists. Through soil, fabric, land, and water, this work emphasizes displacement and erasure while reaffirming a sovereign right to ancestral memory and future.

A post-show artist talkback takes place on December 5.

Tickets are available through The Dance Centre.
