Offering Invitation is a creative workshop co-facilitated by Jeanette Kotowich and Lara Kramer.

We gather for this workshop to connect with embodied practices related to Kotowich’s research in Métis & Nêhiyaw Cosmology that bridge movement expressions into contemporary dance and performance practices. Kramer will share the inter-relationality of her creative practice through sonic experimentation and embodied exploration grounded in Anishinaabe methodologies and epistemologies.

Centered on the body, the workshop facilitators will foster an atmosphere where relationships to dreams, imagination, land, territory, storytelling, sound, and song can be approached to generate methods and modes of exchange of practice. Offering Invitation hosts a platform for participants to engage in both group dialogue and collective physical practice.

This is an experiential movement workshop, sharing Indigenous cultural perspectives, contemporary dance and performance art approaches and perspective from Turtle Island.

Bring your courageous hearts as we intentionally explore specific values to nourish our practices. Together we will stoke our creative fires with compassion, kindness, bravery & joy.
