MINE

Bulkey Valley Concert Association, Smithers / Witsuwit’en Territory

 BVCA invited MINE in April 2018

‘Mine’ is an inter-disciplinary project that combines dance, storytelling, live music, and sewing to explore consumption, materialism, identity, gender and queer expression, value, fast fashion, history and memory, using clothing as the common thread.

Dance artists Kelly McInnes & Rianne Svelnis with musician Alex Mah are co-facilitating free workshops for youth using MINE as the focus. In this collaborative creative process, youth will bring old clothes, make new ones, exchange stories, make and share dances.

Young people interested in the arts, acting, movement/dancing, costumes, music making are especially invited. Performance opportunities available to youth interested.

Building relationships with Rianne and Kelly, BVCA has invited them back to Smithers in 2021
