In Abundance (2013) is developed for young audiences. It has toured extensively through ArtStarts in Schools and has been presented through Roots and Shoots at the Chan Centre for Performing Arts (2010, 2011), at the Vancouver International Children’s Festival (2010, 2014) and the Whistler Children’s Festival (2014).
Hloxsa ‘Wii Hun or In Abundance is the company’s dance piece for young audiences. A central theme is based on the salmon cycle and conveys important cultural teachings on balance, community, and sustainability. The salmon symbolize abundance and are a key reminder of the importance to value and protect this essential resource. The final teaching of In Abundance is that when we take only what we need there is plenty for all, including the salmon needed to spawn for the next year’s cycle. These teachings are demonstrated through various stories and masked dances.
In Abundance is performed annually for thousands of youth, presented at K-12 schools in BC. These performances support the schools to gain a better understanding of Indigenous cultural practices.
In Abundance was created with support by the Canada Council for the Arts and BC Arts Council.
