Co-Presented with Vancouver Moving Theatre as part of Heart of the City Festival
Journey with us in a deep-rooted exploration that invites cross-cultural exchanges, performative story-making and creative dialogue where ancestral histories and contemporary realities meet. These events are for you if you’re interested in discovering your culturally storied body in a dance between self and community.
All events are Saturday, 9th of November, at Russian Hall, 600 Campbell Ave
Personal Legacy Workshop Demo 10-12pm
Step into the flow where the past feeds the tributaries of our storied bodies and creative impulses. Join Arrivals Legacy Project AD Diane Roberts and members of her co-facilitation team as they lead you through an embodied story-weaving process that explores ancestry as a jump-off point for creative expression.

“SeedPool was first conceived by Jude Wong, Atef Abdelkefi and I in 2015, as a simple blog space for Arrivals alumni to meet and exchange new seeds (an image, a writing piece, a song, a short video) arising from their growing relationship to and with their Ancestors. The SeedPool has now become a profoundly exciting space for collaboration and exchange.”
-Diane Roberts
