Overview  

Indigenous World Dance Residency is a re-designed program for twelve Indigenous dancers. Participants will engage in collective workshops, one-on-one mentorship, and opportunities to connect with community, guided by faculty and guest artists who support both individual growth and shared artistic exploration.

Shumka is thrilled to be back on stage for three shows at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, December 20 & 21 with their presentation of Canada’s Ukrainian Nutcracker. Tickets are on sale now starting at $23.

Convergence is a dance double bill featuring two premieres: Blue Orbit, by GWDC, and GAPE by Tia Ashley Kushniruk and Susannah Haight.

Surrounded by a landscape of objects, a surreal soundscape is emitted. We listen, we witness, and we move. Everything can be seen in this blue orbit, exposing the space and all its contents.
