Come meet and be in practice with our dance collective!

Join us for an introductory workshop on the Somatics of Abolition, facilitated by one of our mentors, Pam Tzeng. In our time together, we'll get embodied and curious. We'll move and reflect. We'll share and together explore some of the practices that shape our collective and how we build community care.

Abolition in our work is lived: it guides how we move, how we listen, and how we hold one another accountable, grounded in connection, trust, and shared well-being. Rooted in Amiskwaciy, our work understands movement as a site of collaboration, co-creation and liberation for a justice-oriented world.

Pam Tzeng 曾小桐 (they/she) is a second-generation Taiwanese-Canadian choreographer and interdisciplinary artist based in Mohkinstsis, Treaty 7 Territory.

Led by their embodied curiosities, Pam take pleasure in extremes to craft honest, visceral and animated performances and immersive installations. Their work is evolving collection of intimate reflections on the politics of our individual, relational and collective bodies. At the heart of their practice is the question: What becomes possible in the felt space of knowing each other as different and the same?

Pam offers the breadth of their creativity and intelligences to the work of equity and anti-oppression inthe arts and cultural sector. They are committed to serving a liberatory present-future through the many dimensions of their practice—as an artist, facilitator, conflict resolution practitioner, and somatic coach.

All tickets are Pay What You Will (PWYW). The suggested price is $30 but any amount is accepted.
