Indigi-Dance On Screen

This year’s festival theme is Noojimo'idizo ↛ She Cures Herself. Celebrating the understanding of how our dances have always been and will always be medicine, we're inspired to bring forward artists who are offering stories of transformation that carry an element of healing or curative properties.

Films shared in this year's festival are an offering of the ways that movement heals through Contemporary Indigenous dance practice, through performance, sharing of teachings, witnessing, and speaking truths. As the sixth iteration, our festival in 2024 celebrates moving in our homes, upon dance floors, in social settings, or with the land. We witness the power that movement carries as an opportunity for self-healing from near and far that can mitigate the effects of colonial structures on our bodies, minds, hearts and spirits.
