the beat goes on
Groove to live jazz, watch a dramatic scene from Jackie and Jack, and re-live the era of “beat” generation poetry.

Meet local author Jim Christy, influenced by the era of Kerouac, who has also published several books of poetry and novels about his vagabond adventures.

the buffalo dreaming
dance. decolonize. repeat.
Experience decolonized dance theatre in-the-round featuring dancers, singers, and drummers from the shishalh Nation, Chilcotin/Caribou First Nations, and our Coast South Asian community.
Story-telling comes to life in dance-theatre-in-the-round, recreating, re-imagining and re-inviting Ancestors from time immemorial to come to us in the present to guide our movements. Swirling into harmony in a sacred circle, we dance as prayer to honour the wheel of life offering blessings for the unity of people, animals, the earth and cosmos as we turn our ways around and so we dance in all directions.
Join us as we re-loop the sacred threads from First Nations and South Asian cultural teachings flowing through bloodlines coming into us from the timeless. Travelling from the Salish Sea over Turtle Island to the ancient lands of India and weaving our way back again, we dance to honour the cow and the buffalo as mother and father, who are the precious life-givers that feed, nourish, and sustain people and the land.
