Pt. 1 of the Niimi’iwe Dance Series:
“In past seasons, we presented Niimi’iwe as a double-bill evening of dance. This season, we chose to expand the offerings to each hold their own space in our season, and so that we can honour the individual stories that both contain. Each piece works on its own, but in connecting them in our Niimi’iwe Series, we are inviting audiences to explore the nuances of Indigenous identity stories and highlighting the importance of self-expression in dance. It’s extra special for us too, as audiences will experience the first full, live runs of these shows in t’karonto at our Aki Studio.”
— Joelle Peters (Artistic Director)
