Microportraits 2021

Microportraits is a series of dance portraits of local people living in the Bulkley Valley.

We are all movers - even if we don’t always recognize ourselves as dancers. Miriam Colvin, Katie Wertz and Robin Lough met with folks along the river and choreographed 15- to 30-second movement portraits in collaboration with community members.

The project is relevant to what’s happening currently in the world. Fearing infection from COVID and actualizing self-isolation are seeding disconnection with the community and, sometimes, with ourselves. This project invites (re)connection. The movement portraits are shared in the community through video / web platforms.
