A FRIDAY CREEATIONS & NATIVE EARTH
CO-PRODUCTION
April 16-19, 2020
Aki Studio Initially cancelled in 2019/20 season due to COVID-19.
Now available in our 2020-21 season!
Maggie & Me honours the legacy of women as healers in our communities.
Through her ancestral gifts and experiences, the dancer receives a contemporary healing dance. Travelling through dimensional realms of existence – spirit, dream, and present – we are invited into the dancer’s journey of healing and revitalization of the Anishinaabe culture. With a movement style that is free, lyrical and explosive, she walks into her own power.
Created by Christine Friday, the recipient of the 2018 K.M. Hunter Award for Dance, this breathtaking immersive performance shares the story of how a healing dance can strengthen communities.
