SOKALO BY ZØGMA Collectif de folklore urbain
Sokalo is a vibrant gathering place where memories are shared with friends--the simple things of life that we wish not to forget. Collaborating with Vancouver’s own Louis Riel Metis Dancers, Sokalo merges song and dance into a powerful rhythmic work.
Proudly located on the traditional, un-ceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, Full Circle: First Nations Performance presents the 17th Annual Talking Stick Festival. Drawing meaning from the salmon’s journey to their spawning grounds, 2018’s festival is aptly named Scháyilhen (S-ch-eye-yay-lh-un), which translates literally to "Salmon Going Up River"; and speaks to the journey the community is taking towards embracing and celebrating Indigenous art forms and practices.
================
Established in 1992, by Margo Kane (Cree/Saulteaux nation), Full Circle is a registered Canadian non-profit, Indigenous Arts organization that provides a platform for Indigenous artists to create, work, and train in the Arts. We engage our community in year-round Indigenous programs (Moccasin Trek: Arts on the Move!, Indian Acts and the Aboriginal Ensemble) in addition to our annual signature event, the Talking Stick Festival.
