SUMMARY:SkirtsAFire: SHE MOVES
DESCRIPTION:DANCE FROM AROUND THE WORLD\nShe Moves is a brand new event to SkirtsAfire! Four dance groups come together to bring us a taste of Classical Ballet\, Traditional Lebanese\, Columbian\, Haitian and Kenyan dance – all in one evening of impactful moments in motion. \nCoppéli-AI\nCoppéli-AI is a retro-futuristic rendition of the ballet Coppélia that challenges society’s expectations of women pressured by the male gaze. The re-written story is of a quarreling lesbian couple and a misogynistic inventor\, who creates an artificial intelligence (AI) hologram named Coppélia\, that one of the women accidentally falls in love with. Through this the ballet will showcase the importance of women’s emotions and ideas over vanity and sex appeal. \n  \nAl-Jabal Dance\nAl-Jabal Dance is a Lebanese folkloric ensemble that pairs the dynamic steps of the traditional stomping dance “dabke” and the feminine oriental dance to celebrate and honour Lebanon. Founded in 2011 by dancer and choreographer Nada Chehayeb\, Al-Jabal Dance has performed in numerous venues across Alberta and for private events in Lebanon. \n  \n  \nKandela Flow \nKandela Flow is a dance fitness\, zumba collective. The group is made up of four talented\, enthusiastic instructors with diverse cultural backgrounds. From Haiti\, to Kenya\, to Colombia\, we bring you the best of our Caribbean beats\, Afro Beats\, LatinX rhythms and more. They aim to create wholesome and unique fitness dance classes where people can relate and feel connected to the music they work out to. We create this by embracing and representing our own cultural backgrounds and hope others in the class feel encouraged to do the same. \n  \nMarena \nMarena is a folkloric dance group that was born in 2015 from the love for dancing and the desire to share our Colombian cultural roots. In Marena\, members have a space to create together\, share many laughs and be part of a community where dance is a medium that has allowed us to dream together. Since then we have performed in different community and cultural events that allow us to share the joy of dancing music from our cultural roots. We are excited to be a part of Skirtsafire 2020 and to be able to contribute through our dance and music\, to the thriving impulse of our latin community in Edmonton.

SUMMARY:SkirtsAFire: Shaktiflow | The Lioness
DESCRIPTION:DANCE\, MUSIC & SPOKEN WORD\nPresented by Shaktiflow Studios\, who are dedicated to empowerment through movement—stories told through dance. Each gesture has a meaning and with them we facilitate ideas of unity\, equality\, and change. \nThe Lioness tells the story of the fire that resides within the feminine being. It is a poetic exploration of the ferocity of a woman. Guided by Katrina (Kena León’s) music and Nisha’s words\, the dancer’s movements originate from deep within the core\, extend into arms\, legs\, fingers\, and face as they unravel from the limitations of their expected roles and mannerisms\, revealing the rawness of their power. Featuring Misbah Qureshi\, Katrina Campos\, Nisha Patel\, Amanda Alvorada\, Cecilia Ferreyra\, Teneil Whiskeyjack\, Shrina Patel\, and Shaktiflow dancers. \n*Be sure to check out Shaktiflow’s Garba Dance & Workshop on Saturday\, February 29.

The name of the group means female leader and is a common name given to young girls in Liberia.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED – The Beginning of Happiness
DESCRIPTION:GWDC and FEMME Vocal Quartet have joined forces to bring to light contemporary female perspectives on domestic violence in the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton Composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. \nThis show features a new 60-minute choral work by Jane Berry that gives voice to the issue of violence against women. \nBerry developed original text and music for this project which features four musicians and four dancers working together to create a multidisciplinary experience\, with live ASL interpretation provided by Nicole Sanders. \n  \nTwo all-female collectives join forces to bring to light contemporary female perspectives on domestic violence\nEdmonton’s FEMME Vocal Quartet and Good Women Dance Collective premiere a new work uniting choral music and dance \n(March 2020 – Edmonton) FEMME\, an all-female vocal quartet\, and Good Women Dance Collective (GWDC)\, an all-female contemporary dance collective have collaborated to explore and reflect upon violence against women in the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton Composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. \nIn the age of #MeToo\, we are reminded that domestic violence continues to be a widespread reality\, and both FEMME and GWDC feel it is vitally important that they use their skills and privilege as artists to bring awareness to this issue. \nThis show features a new 60 minute choral work by Berry that gives voice to the issue of violence against women. Berry developed original text and music for this project which features four musicians and four dancers working together to create a multidisciplinary experience\, with live ASL interpretation provided by Nicole Sanders. While the composition draws on Berry’s experience with domestic violence\, the work encourages performers to bring their own thoughts into the work so that their own personal experiences are included in the show. \nThis isn’t the first time that GWDC has incorporated choral music into their work. In April 2016\, Good Women Dance Collective\, New Music Edmonton\, and Pro Coro Canada collaborated for a run of David Lang’s Love Fail. Love Fail and The Beginning of Happiness alike draw upon an inherent power that comes from unifying voices and bodies through the modalities of a cappella choral singing and contemporary dance to share stories of female experience. Both collectives are thrilled to be working with this strong and talented group of women on this innovative performance. \nThe Beginning of Happiness is presented in partnership with WIN House\, an organization whose purpose is to give victims the hope and help they need to overcome domestic abuse. WIN House representatives will be available after all performances\, including the talk back on March 27\, to engage in a dialogue with the audience about the work and the issues surrounding this topic. \nIn sharing these stories\, FEMME and GWDC aim to reduce stigma and increase dialogue surrounding domestic abuse and sexual assault. \nTickets are available at Tix on the Square. Seating is limited\, please book in advance.\n$25 General\, $15 Student/Senior/CADA Members\n25% of the house will be held for pay-what-you-will tickets at the door. \nFEMME is a female vocal quartet comprised of Dawn Bailey\, Jane Berry\, Sable Chan\, and Amy Voyer. Their mandate is to amplify the voices of women by performing work written by women. FEMME wishes to create a performance space for females singing at a professional level and give voice to underrepresented female perspectives in the world of classical repertoire. \nGood Women Dance Collective (GWDC) is a creation-based movement company comprised of Ainsley Hillyard\, Alison Kause\, Alida Kendell and Kate Stashko. GWDC is committed to supporting a vibrant and sustainable contemporary dance community in Edmonton by creating\, commissioning and producing innovative new works.
