Come join this unique dance exploration workshop in the scenic fields of the Harris Ranch—with contemporary dancer and teacher Rachel Harris accompanied by Paul “Garbanzo” Gibbons playing the bamboo flutes. Rachel Harris will guide participants in a dance exploration over her family’s ranch, combined with storytelling of the land and the role it played during the Internment of Japanese Canadians.
Rachel Harris is a professional dancer now based in Montreal with family roots in the Slocan. She has collaborated with over thirty choreographers in a career that has taken her around the globe. Rachel also guides movement workshops in women’s shelters in Montreal as part of Dance Against Violence.
