KSAMB Dance Company is participating in the 2025-2026 Sustained Artist Mentorship Program at the Remai Modern. Our underlying theme this winter is land back.
From September 2025 until August 2026, KSAMB Dance Company will be investigating, rehearsing and performing at the Remai. The Sustained Artist Mentorship Program supports local artists working in the realm of performance and public practice. KSAMB will receive financial supports, access to museum resources and professional development opportunities. The museum will work in collaboration with KSAMB to develop a program that includes research, public engagement such as artist talks or workshops, and the development and presentation of new work or work in progress. remaimodern.org/art-artists/sustained-artist-mentorship-program/

Contact Improvisation Jam with Laurent Boucher in the Riverview Room of the Remai Modern, November 27.
November 15, KSAMB's third intervention was Time Back. This was a 58 minute exploration of very slow unfolding movement performed by Kyle Syverson in the Marquee Gallery with the Great Plains exhibition.
Bringing In the River, Nov 1, 2025
Our second performance on November 1, Bringing in the River, was a ritual of sorts, celebrating and considering our personal experiences of the South Saskatchewan River and the socio-political context in which the river and the Remai meet. A trio of dancers, inspired by our 2022 Carte Blanche, embodied the wild and cultured, fantastical and mundane, sacred and profane, without fearing the ridiculous and sublime.
Our first movement intervention in the public spaces of the gallery was Saturday, October 18. Performed three times, the intervention was a re-imagining of the Contact Improvisation practice of The Stand, originally conceived by the founder of Contact Improvisation, Steve Paxton. It is a meditation on the movements that keep us upright.
“Taking a stand” can also be a political act.
