Dancer/Choreographer Liliona Quarmyne hosted a 1:1 residency in Antigonish Nova Scotia, inviting AD Diane Roberts as dramaturg and development director for her new work in progress: Resonances of a Warrior Boy. The exploration for both Diane and Liliona was to expand on the discoveries made in previous workshops and apply it directly to a creation project. Funded by Arts Nova Scotia and Canada Council for the Arts, this two-week residency allowed Liliona to explore her great grandfather’s ancestral story and to create a beautiful new dance work. It also allowed Diane and Liliona to deepen the creation methodology.
