Liliona Quarmyne has an eclectic background and a diverse set of trainings and experiences. As a result, she wears many hats – choreographer, dancer, actor, singer, community organizer, and facilitator. Liliona’s work stems from the idea of the body as story - an ever shifting, layered meeting place of moments and memory that is a constant conversation with time, space, land, and other bodies. Liliona sees her body as a link to past and to future generations. She choreographs and dances across Canada and internationally, creates and performs original works as an independent artist, facilitates community programming, and is the Artistic Director of Kinetic Studio. Her scope of work is broad, but is particularly focused on the relationship between art and social justice, on the body’s ability to carry ancestral memory, and on the role the performing arts can play in creating change.

*NEW DATE* This workshop is offered exclusively to Black participants on Friday May 12th. We believe that offering this closed Black space of healing, recharge, and slow-down is crucial especially during this time of extreme violence and injustice.

About the Workshop

As we move in and through this minute/vast, mundane/extraordinary, suspended/plummeting time, what stories are being written into our bodies? What do our bodies know now that they didn't know before? In this workshop, participants will be guided to delve gently into skin, muscle, fascia and bone, inviting our physical selves to be present to the learnings of this time.
