Indigenous contemporary dance work by Lara Kramer.

The Dance Centre

Join us for Gorgeous Tongue by Lara Kramer, a multidisciplinary artist of mixed Oji-cree and settler heritage based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal. Anchored in this world and orbiting a universe beyond, a lone performer unfolds memorieson stage through rhythmic scores. For Gorgeous Tongue, Lara Kramer invitesNêhiyaw/Métis dance artist Jeanette Kotowich to embody stories, dreams, and songs thatstem from Lara’s Anishinaabe lineage. Entering Kramer’s artistic constellation, Kotowichperforms multiple movement sequences to embrace the past and usher in a newworld. Gorgeous Tongue is a celebration of Indigenous transmission, transformation, andfuturity. Born out of two artists’ chemistry and kinship, this solo oscillates between the need forregulation and the discovery of a new appetite. Following Windigo (2018, FTA) and ThemVoices (2021 and 2022, FTA), Lara Kramer explores the need and drive for pleasure andthe strength of instinctual connections. "And we are asked, “Do you still want to go?” This is them stories of our journey from thestars. Of how we came to be. Somewhere amongst all these strands, we are weaving our imagination. Dreaming for hard loving and future journeys. Transporting in soft gorgeous tongue. " ~Lara Kramer Matriarchs Uprising is supported through The Dance Centre’s Special Projects and Partnerships program.
