Decolonizing the Narrative Conversation Series: Muriel Miguel

Decolonizing the Narrative Conversation Series is a monthly online conversation session that invites leading Indigenous Art creators to talk about their practices and processes, facilitated by Janine Windolph, acting Director of Indigenous Arts at Banff Centre.

The Conversation Series engages an Indigenous lens in the various arts forms of Literary Arts, Film and Media Arts, Digital Media, Visual Arts, and Performing Arts including Theatre, Dance, and Music with Opera, Singer/Songwriter, and Classical Music. All areas that Indigenous Arts is connected through. Through the multi-disciplinary Arts lens registrants will gain a deeper learning and understanding of decolonizing artistic practices.

Explore and deepen your understanding of how Indigenous artists are using their arts discipline as a tool to decolonize artistic process and creation.

Join us this month as we welcome Muriel Miguel to the conversation!

Storyweaving is rooted in an Indigenous storytelling tradition. In storyweaving, personal and traditional stories of the ensemble are intertwined with movement, text, sound, music, art installation and visual images. Storyweaving team leaders, whose areas of practice are story, movement and voice, in collaboration with the performers, guide a development process of unveiling the story and performance style through investigating motifs, phrases, songs, and dances that layer, connect and juxtapose the stories. This is an Indigenous process
and is the foundation upon which we build Spiderwoman Theater productions.

This session with Muriel takes place over two days:
Wednesday August 17, 2022 - Presentation of work
Thursday August 18, 2022 - Follow up conversation and audience Q&A
