Show Notes:
Olivia C. Davies
Olivia C. Davies is a Vancouver-based performer, choreographer, and community-arts facilitator of Ojibwe, Finnish, French Canadian, and Welsh heritage. Her practice has intrinsic ties to feminist politics and social justice and explores the emotional and political relationships between people and places.
Davies’ choreography transmits narrative. She has collaborated with Canadian spoken word artists Julie Peters (I Want, 2018) and Melissa Frost (Gidaashi, 2019), and with award-winning author Carmen Aguirre to adapt the short story Open Fire (2015). Davies combined forces with celebrated Coast Salish storyteller Rosemary Georgeson to create Crow’s Nest and Other Places She’s Gone (2017) exploring the shifting landscapes of refuge and dispossession experienced by Indigenous women. Directions (2018) was a site-specific activation of a residential property in East Vancouver that subverted the traditional view of audience/performer and was inspired by elements of the architectural design evident and the unseen forces of the natural world.
Davies’ works traverse boundaries and challenge social prejudice, conveying concepts and narratives that open different ways to see and experience the world. She is a founding member of the Circadia Indigena Aboriginal Arts Collective, Crow’s Nest Collective, and MataDanze Collective (Toronto). Davies is the founding Artistic Director of O.Dela Arts. Her work has been presented across Canada in Ontario, Quebec, and BC since 2004.

Justine A. Chambers is a dance artist living and working on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
