Yonnhe’ón:we Indigenous Arts Series returns with Kwah io ianereh, a unique evening of storytelling weaving video, dance and music. Dancers Kean Buffalo and Jaeili Rae, will delight audiences with a mix of pow-wow and hip-hop creating a unique experience of dance performance. Set against the backdrop of music videos by contemporary Indigenous musicians STOIK, DJ Shub, Prolific the Rapper and Halluci Nation (A Tribe Called Red), it will be an evening to remember.
Blended through the performance will be a video discussion featuring award-winning filmmaker, actor, and show-runner, Jennifer Podemski, who looks at her evolution as a storyteller, starting as an actor to setting up the first Indigenous owned-production company in the country. The common thread through her career is her passion to bring Indigenous representation to Canadian screens. Led by Jillian Morris the discussion dives into Podemski’s career as a mixed Anishinaabe-Ashkenazi storyteller, and her advocacy to build safer spaces for diverse storytellers within the film and television industry.
Tickets are $25 per person and takes place at the Simcoe Street Theatre, 65 Simcoe Street, Collingwood.
