NEW DANCE HORIZONS’ HOUSE OF DANCE is proud to launch Dancing & Wild Tales, a dance-based video performance series that explores stories, myths, fairy tales, and folktales through the art of dance, theatre, storytelling, visual art, and music. Dancing & Wild Tales is imagined by Managing and Artistic Director Robin Poitras and Co-Artistic Director Edward Poitras.
Developed in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the series seeks to expand awareness and appreciation of cultural stories that touch and connect the lives of people at home in Saskatchewan and around the Globe. First in the Dancing & Wild Tales series is a new dance-based interpretation of the ever popular and significant Anansi and the Sky God’s Stories. Presented in partnership with the Saskatchewan Caribbean-Canadian Association (SCCA) and the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum (SACHM) with sponsorship from Toronto Dominion Bank, this video work is a collaborative creation by Robin Poitras, Edward Poitras, with Nimone Campbell, Roderick T. Johnson, Joseph Ashong, Ian Campbell, and Patrick James. Anansi and the Sky God’s Stories is presented in recognition and celebration of Black History Month and the contributions and achievements of people of African ancestry. |
