Carnegie Dance Troupe Performance - November 3, 2024
Threads of Connection
The Carnegie Dance Troupe & Karen Jamieson Dance
The Carnegie Dance Troupe presents a live showing of a new work-in-progress! As the group transitions from Karen Jamieson’s 18 years of leadership to new mentoring facilitator, Rianne Svelnis, the material of this year’s piece is a weaving together of past repertoire with new creation by participants, inspired by the theme of this year’s Heart of the City Festival: ‘Threads of Connection’.

The dancers demonstrate the power of collective art-making that has always been grounded in community. Since 2006, the principle supporting the Carnegie Dance Troupe is absolute inclusivity. Performances are created through processes of collaboration, seeking to connect us to our body, to our breath, to the energy of the earth, to each other and to our diverse communities. The Carnegie Dance Troupe is part of Karen Jamieson Dance, and partners with the Carnegie Community Centre and SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement.
Deborah Charlie & Deer Dance
This year will also include a performance of Deer Dance! Deer Dance is the debut choreographic work of Deborah Charlie, a current and longstanding performer of Karen Jamieson Carnegie Dance Troupe. In honour of the Spirit of the Deer and the struggle to return to our true nature, this performance features RavenWing (Lorelei Hawkins), Heather Blais and Deborah Charlie with production support by Lance Lim (Pigeon Art Collective).
