About
Mocean Dance is hosting a community workshop, Moving in Mi'kma'ki, at the Halifax Central Library for Culture Days, and in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Led by Eskasoni First Nation dance artist Sarah Prosper, this workshop is open to people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels, with no previous dance experience required. ASL Interpretation will be provided.
"Moving in Mi’kma’ki invites you, a mover, artist, dancer, and person who wants to learn about the land we live from in Mi’kma’ki. Through these classes the Mi’kmaq language, elder relation teachings, and Indigenous based movement will be an integral component of our welcoming learning space for ALL. Becoming and understanding all of our relations by acknowledging we each have an inherent responsibility to our future history. Piskwa’ ~ Come In."
- Sarah Prosper -
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 28th, from 10 - 11:30 am, with the option to stay from 11:30 am - 12:00pm for further discussion together.
Join us for two more sessions of Moving In Mi'kmaki from 10am - 12 pm on October 7th and 14th at Halifax Dance, located at 1505 Barrington st.
