Raven Spirit Dance

IGT is a space created for Indigenous artists to come together to learn, discover and deepen their creative practice.

December 8th - 11th Raven Spirit will be hosting our IndigenousGround Training Intensive. This year it will take place both online and in-person on the unceded and Ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, also known as Vancouver, BC. We are bringing together an amazing faculty of Indigenous artists and guest speakers who will be sharing their experience and knowledge with a focus on creative process, choreography, and grounding artistic expression in a variety of Indigenous dance forms and practices.IGT is a space created for Indigenous artists to come together to learn, discover and deepen their creative practice through a series of Master classes, creation-based workshops and circle conversations with mentors and peers. We centre an Indigenous worldview and celebrate Indigenous voices and creative expression. It is an opportunity to engage through movement and inspiration, to arrive deep into our own bodies and our lands, and to share this with one another. We also have a number of community classes for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants to join us in the circle and dance and learn together.<h3>Our 2022 Faculty and Guest Speakers include:</h3>Cole Alvis, Bob Baker, Nyla Carpentier, Yvonne Chartrand, Tasha Faye Evans, Jeanette Kotowich, Edgardo Moreno, Starr Muranko, Michelle Olson and Carlos Rivera and Troy Emery Twigg <h3>Ticket info: </h3>We have four options to choose from:<ul><li>Indigenous Artist (Full package) offers access to all in-person and online classes, workshops and Indigenous conversation circles as well as the opening and closing.</li></ul><ul><li>Community Attendee (Full package) offers access to the following classes: Metis Jigging with Madelaine McCullum , Pow Wow Dance with Nyla Carpentier, Master Class with Cole Alvis, Master Class with Jeanette Kotowich as well as the opening and closing. </li></ul><ul><li>Indigenous Artist (Online only)</li></ul><ul><li>Community Attendee (Online only) </li></ul><ul><li>Community drop-in classes for $15 per class.</li></ul>Scholarships for Indigenous artists are available by application.
