IAR2024: Christine Friday



In partnership with First Light and the Spirit Song Festival, we are proud to sponsor an Indigenous movement artist each year. This support helps bring their work to the stage at Spirit Song Festival while also offering an inclusive workshop for the community.


For 2024's Indigenous Artist in Residency, we were honored to support Christine Friday, who performed at Spirit Song’s "One Skye Artist Showcase" and led a community workshop, "Yoga and Improvisation with Christine Friday", sharing her deep connection to movement and storytelling. Christine Friday is deeply rooted to her family’s ancestral hereditary lands, Friday’s Point which includes surrounding lands and lakes that make up her family’s tribal hunting grounds, located within the unceded lands of the Wabi Mkwa family. She lives on Bear Island, in her community of Temagami First Nation. Christine is Anishinaabe Kwe, she is a proficient resilient Indigenous storyteller. She began her dance career with In the Land of Spirits in 1992 and has maintained a professional  dance career for over 30 years, as a choreographer and director, developing solo work, commissioned work, youth creations and full-scale productions. In the past four years she has produced several dance films to broaden her audience and expand her potential.
