REDTalk: Thunderbird Rising with Christine Friday

On Thursday, May 20th at 6:00pm EST, join Red Sky for a REDTalk with dance artist Christine Friday and an excerpt of her new dance film, Thunderbird Rising 2. It is an intimate land-based performance on the traditional territory of the Temagami First Nation. Thunderbird Rising 2 expresses the transformative spirit of dance and healing through dimensional realms of existence - ancestors, dreams, blood memory, and connection to the land. Christine Friday will then join host Sandra Laronde for an intimate artist talk about her work and connection to the Anishinaabek way of living.

Christine Friday has been a professional dance artist for three decades. She has choreographed and performed in solo and full-scale productions.

Sandra Laronde is a highly accomplished arts leader, creator, and the Executive & Artistic Director of Red Sky Performance.

This event has a sliding scale pay structure, please pay what you can.

Red Sky Performance is grateful to Canadian Heritage for their generous support of the REDTalks series.
