The Indigenous Dancer in Residency is a program produced by Neighbourhood Dance Works, in partnership with First Light Friendship Centre, Spirit Song Festival and The Arts and Culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. The residency fosters collaboration and exploration of dance in an indigenous-led process with artists in Newfoundland and Labrador.
This year's program serves as a continuation of last year's project, with artists Possesom Paul, Meagan Musseau and Rebecca Sharr coming together once more to explore collaboration, creative process of indigenous dance practice. This year's project will also involve a community forum whereby NDW and First Light spearhead a conversation over two days to consider the future of indigenous dance in Newfoundland and Labrador.
