The Dancers of Damelahamid of the Gitxsan nation is founded upon over four decades of extensive work of song restoration, upholding the ancient cultural wealth of their family’s lineage. According to Gitksan history, Damelahamid is the original city where the first ancestors were placed on earth from heaven. Since time immemorial Gitksan songs and dances have been performed in the feast hall and played an integral part in defining art and culture.

Luu hlotitxw: Spirit Transforming
Luu hlotitxw roughly translated as Spirit Transforming describes the ‘in-between places’, and forms the premise and cultural foundation of the artistic processes of this dance piece. Aboriginal dance practices will not transform set boundaries unless Aboriginal peoples are in the places of transformation to redefine ourselves. The dance work Spirit Transforming is an exploration, and celebration of the magnificence of the essence of who Aboriginal peoples are and what that transcends. Deeply rooted in the timeless dance traditions of the Gitxsan, this work shares a very personal journey of re-birth, and brings forth the rich expression of coastal dance, transformed.
