The Brian Webb Dance Company is proud to present Metis artist Jeanette Kotowich’s Kisiskâciwan. This presentation is in partnership the Phoenix Series at The Roxy.
A creative return to the fast-flowing landscape of Saskatchewan, the robust and undulating land of Jeanette’s great-grandmothers and great-great-grandfathers, Kisiskâciwan is a journey to oneself. The performance reflects the Kah-tep-was (Nêhiyaw for river that calls) a two-kilometer wide, 180-meter deep valley sacred place that calls generations of peoples for gathering, hunting, and spiritual replenishment. It speaks through dance to a Métis cultural narrative of identity and home. The piece also features live fiddle by special guest artist Kathleen Nisbet.
