MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Kichisippi Love ~ an honoring

stirring memories. carrying prayers. celebrating our big river.

a performance installation from Zawa Niibi-Kwe | Olivia C. Davies

One woman celebrates the now-too-still waterway that once rushed with life by infusing the shoreline with small, solemn declarations of love and responding to the echoes of a blood-stained history buried deep in the riverbed.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST

Olivia is a Vancouver-based performer, choreographer, and community-arts facilitator of Anishinaabe, French-Canadian, and Welsh heritage. Her practice has intrinsic ties to feminist politics and social justice. Davies’ works often explore the emotional and political relationships between people and places. Her first full-length work “Crow’s Nest and Other Places She’s Gone” (2017) blends Contemporary dance, theatre, and street culture through an Indigenous lens.  Her recent choreographic explorations are driven by a desire to explore neo-traditional aspects of her Indigeneity.
