Made in BC tried out something new this season: a trial residency in Smithers, with the touring companies the 605 Collective and the response. Miriam Colvin (who has just started a new residency project of her own, which I hope we'll get to hear about soon) sent us these photos and a description of what they got up to.***
Amber Funk Barton, Shay Keubler and Josh Martin remained in Smithers for a 4 day Residency. During the day, the artists worked on their own choreography and explored the natural landscapes of the
Bulkley Valley. In the evenings, they led skill-building and dance-making workshops for 7 members of the community. On Thursday, October 7th we hosted a studio showing featuring exercises we had explored and a structured dance composition. Participants enjoyed the highly physical experience and the chance to gain insight into these artists' creation processes.
