We All Belong to the Ground
We All Belong to the Ground
This is a tender time for the Carnegie Dance Troupe as we lost our beloved members Dallas (Cowichan) and Deborah Charlie (Lillooet) this year. As we grieve, we are strengthened in the knowledge that Dallas and Deborah would want us to continue dancing together.
Some of the material we are working with this season is inspired by Deborah’s creative work in the months before she passed, artistically exploring themes of belonging, the support of the Earth, the collective ‘fire’ of the community, and the relational care of holding one another, sensing and being present with each other. Other new material is drawn from the Troupe’s choreographic development work during the spring session and the participants’ collaborative creation over the last 8 weeks.
A sense of gratitude, adventure and joy emerges from our practice of connection to our bodies and together as a group. We hope the witnessing of this process also transforms you in that way.

Since 2006 the principle supporting The Carnegie Dance Troupe is absolute inclusivity. Performances are created through a process of collaboration, seeking to connect us to our body, to our breath, to the energy of the earth, to each other and our interwoven communities.
