About
Join Montana Summers for this dance workshop in the garden and connect with your rhythm and the land. In case of rain, we will be indoors.
Rhythms of Heart and Land focuses on reconnecting the mind, body, and our natural rhythms inside and out, while touching base on being in sync with your heart, moving through space with specific points of the body, and work towards aligning oneself with natural patterns of land.
Montana is from Oneida Nation of the Thames. He is an emerging choreographic artist who has begun development on his first performance project in 2022 at the Banff Centre named Conditions to Strike, which he showcased in the Jenny Belzberg Theatre. Montana has been working in theatre professionally since 2015; noteworthy works Montana has performed in Kaha:wi Dance Theatre’s productions and touring: The Honouring (2015-2017), The Mush Hole (2016-2023) and most recently SKéN:NEN (2021-2023). Montana has collaborated with different performance collectives over the years like Dusk Dances (Kan^stote – 2021), Unsettled Scores (Canoe – 2023), as well as Blue Bird Theatre Collective and Sweet Labour Art Collective.
