Dancer in Pow wow regalia

Santee and our choreographic intern from New Zealand, Louise Potiki Bryant of Atamira dance collective will be in attendance to connect with dancers from all across North America. I highly encourage you to attend the festival which usually attracts over 40,000 visitors.
The Pow Wow attracts over 1,000 dancers from every corner of North America. It starts with a Grand Entry when all dancers dance into the dance circle in full regalia to the beat of the drums. The motion, colour and sound of the Grand Entry is spectacular and for many visitors, emotional. In addition to the dancers, veterans, both
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, Elders, Aboriginal members of the armed forces and various police organizations and others also participate in the Grand Entries.

Grand Entries are scheduled for Saturday November 28th, 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday November 29th at 12:00 noon. The Main Stage performances start an hour before the Grand Entry. For more information visit www.canab.com

Business for the Arts/Board Link Event

Filed under: Uncategorized — julia @ 4:15 PM

Tomorrow night (November 19th 2009) KDT will be one of the 10 organizations participating in a Business for the Art’s Board Link event, hosted by their young professionals group.

Board Link is like a dating service for arts organization and potential board members. Taking this metaphor further, tomorrow’s event is organized like a speed dating session. I have four minutes to find out whether you are right for the KDT board, and whether we are right for you. Tickets are $25 and include complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres. It also takes place at the same time as OCAD‘s wonderful whodunit mystery art auction preview. So you can do double duty.
