Film Screening: Gluk | Karen Jamieson Dance

Gluk focuses on Karen Jamieson’s seminal dance work Stone Soup and its British Columbia tour in 1995-1997. Central to Stone Soup is the Gitxsan concept of Gluk: a ceremony of redoing a wrong. Doreen Jensen, Hahl Yee, Gitxsan elder and a beloved friend and mentor to Jamieson, proposed the concept to create a dance that would fulfill a Gluk by asking permission to enter and dance on each of the First Nations territories they came to. Through archive footage and new interviews, the film recounts this groundbreaking project which sought to build bridges of understanding and to advance truth and reconciliation, decades ahead of its time.

About the Body to Land Project

Over a period of years, we are studying and re-creating through video and movement, seminal works from the repertoire that explore our emotional, physical and cultural relationship to land. The works all embody powerful concepts that express the relationship of humans to land and have something to offer to the conversation around reconciliation and the role of dance in creating bridges between cultures.
 
Our objective is to create, from the analog video material, writings, photos, drawings and maps that remain from each piece, a documentary video and live movement work that can be grasped by an audience as a singular whole.

Body to Land Project 
Stone Soup was the first work we addressed in this project.
The resulting film is titled Gluk.
