COLLECTIVE PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Background: Inspired by and partnering with La danse sur les routes du Québec and its program Jouer Dehors, this program Des Arts Dehors/Arts Outside was begun in 2016 by MiBC with the Conseil culturel et artistique francophone de la Colombie- Britannique to exclusively promote and tour francophone dance around British Columbia.

In 2019-20, MiBC began a pilot project for its acclaimed program, Des Arts Dehors/Arts Outside, to include a limited number of anglophone/non-francophone dance and performance artists who were making site-specific work.

My project is called Arboles and what I did in this residency in Galiano, at Leña, was investigate the sounds of nature. I was outside for about three hours and I was looking at all those tree trunks, I looked for all the tree trunks on the property of Leña and I was looking for ways to make sounds on the tree trunks but at the same time listening to the sounds of nature. I heard the raven and I heard the sounds of the woodpecker and so I was trying to make the sound “tac a tac a tac a tac” as I listened to the woodpecker. There were other birds I heard and I was listening for their whistles. And for me the trees are the roots, like tree trunk it’s there, it’s dead but still has roots and that tree trunk gives life to other new trees. And for me for me, this is like an interpretation of life, it is our grandparents and what do we do with that energy that they give us…if they die…but still they live us that energy and those learnings and so then how to look for our own branches, new branches, and what are we going to do with that energy, how are we going to look for others. So this is inspiration that comes from Leña and from my project Arboles.
