Wednesday, July 28, Movement Performance Program features a visit by hoop-dancer Lawrence Roy. We will try some moves inspired by our connection to the earth.
Our home is on indigenous land. We live and work in Treaty Six in a core Saskatoon neighbourhood, Pleasant Hill. We acknowledge that treaties have not been honoured, and that our hosts and neighbours have suffered and continue to live under oppression. KSAMB works for reconciliation and redress.

KSAMB Dance Company,
founded in 2009, is a collaboration between Kyle Syverson and Miki Mappin. Pro-active engagers, we offer training and dance events to people with both dance and non-dance backgrounds, of all ages and abilities. We often recruit our performers from this varied group. |
Trust Us? Here, Now. 2019 Nuit Blanche
Our vision is for our performances to engage the imagination and help people free themselves from apathy, fear, and complacency–-promoting a more present, loving and resilient society. We strongly believe that dance is a universal need. We welcome diversity.
For KSAMB, dance is both a question, and an answer. To dance is a radical act.
Our work is site-specific and frequently performed outdoors for diverse audiences and events. Some of our extreme performance contexts border on 'dance survival'. We perform ensemble improvisation. Our work is generated from our practice of Contact Improvisation, modified during the pandemic, a discipline grounded in attention to sensation, and inspired by our close relationship with the earth. Our training includes Ballet, Modern and somatic practices.
