Our current series is called Finding Trout Lake and you can find us in the Winter 2018 Recreation Guide or on the
Vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture registration page
We meet Sunday afternoon from 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm for percussion, dance, storytelling and learning about the nature surrounding us.
This is a community-engaged dance opportunity for nature lovers, storytellers, educators, movers and shakers of all ages and abilities.
Looking at the serene view of the lake with curiosity…what stories are hidden here?
We begin our journey by imagining a distant past.
How did the lake get here? Was this forested land? What can we remember?
How might we tell the story of this place through movement and sound? Whose story do we tell?
These are some of the lines of inquiry that we will follow during the collaborative and creative process of choreographing this unique story called
Finding Trout Lake.
