OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing from principles that animate beyond human kinships and call backwards into the future of indigiqueer brilliance and Indigenous knowledges, this workshop invites participants to expand their imaginations and perceptual capacities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through heightened sensory awareness and body-voice activations, we will attune ourselves to the intimate processes and cycles that unfold within and around us. Expanding on personal, collective and cosmological frameworks, which centre M\u00e9tis and M\u00e2ori practices, we deepen into the rich intersections of land-based methodologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will explore the interplay of ancestral connections, creative lineages, earth relations and personal intuition to awaken realms of play, curiosity, and alignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONTENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 3-day land-based immersive laboratory will be hosted on the unceded territories of the Algonquin & Kanien<\/strong>:keha’ka nations on the edge of lake Marois (Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs).<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site provides opportunity to drop into ritual practices and gather at iskot\u00eaw (fire), immerse our bodies in sakahikan (lake) and listen under the canopy of mistikwak (trees). Our bodies, spirits and beings start to fold and unfold into papatuanuku (Mother Earth). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing upon principles of Body Weather as a movement and performance practice we will foster a deep awareness of the shifting states of change, like the weather, within and around our bodies. Working with vocal improvisation, sonic meditations and deep listening, we expand on perceptions of silence, breath, toning and vocal mimicry within the multitude of resonating bodies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In small ensemble practices, circle work, body-based partner manipulations, image work, and call and response with one another and the land, we examine tactile and sensorial relationships as catalysts for transformative states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*participants are invited to come prepared to work in shifting weather conditions, and to engage in a rigorous body-voice practice which challenges previous assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2019, Weather Beings is a 2Spirit performance collaborative co-founded by M\u00e9tis vocalist\/performance artist Moe Clark<\/strong> and M\u00e2ori choreographer\/ dancer\/dramaturg Victoria Hunt.<\/strong> Weather Beings examine the intersections of M\u00e2ori whakapapa and M\u00e9tis w\u00e2hk\u00f4htowin (kinship systems), asserting a critical position to reclaim, restore and rematriate feminine and queer knowledge into our cultural and creative practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As collaborators, Weather Beings navigate thresholds between what is \u2018known\u2019, what is withheld or \u2018unknown,\u2019 and what is being dreamt into being. In essence, we activate creative practices that refuse violent linearities by dreaming backwards into the future. Encoded in this dreaming are Te Reo M\u00e2ori and n\u00eahiyaw\u00eawin languages, where old words create new worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
