SUMMARY:Illuminate Panel: Slow Touring
DESCRIPTION:Illuminate Panel: Slow Touring\n\nSpeakers include:\nHeather Lamoureux\, Artistic Director\, Vines Art Festival\nMichelle Olson\, Co-Artistic Director\, Raven Spirit Dance\n0Stella\, Musician\n \nRegister to attend\nTo attend\, register on Zoom. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with a link for the session. \nHeather Lamoureux\nHeather Lamoureux lives on Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh territories\, where she is the Artistic Director at Vines Art Society. Heather is committed to her responsibility to nurture artists\, imagine and co-create creative projects\, and pull people together. Her work is shaped by her training in somatic therapy\, involvement in land-based community projects\, gardening\, supporting resistance\, sovereignty\, water protection work\, and many generous stories and chats. She has previously worked for Raven Spirit Dance\, PuSh International Arts Festival\, and the Firehall Arts Centre and facilitated movement classes for elders and youth. She loves to garden\, hang out by a river\, and eat good food. \n0Stella\nWith sell-out shows in Ireland and Canada and performing for Oscar-winner Glen Hansard\, 0Stella’s [oh-Stella] alt-rock Irish fusion captivates audiences everywhere. This is rock and roll with traditional Irish fiddle and bodhrán (sometimes wrapped in thick distortion) and catchy pop melodies that shimmer with rebellion. 0Stella sings in English and Irish and regularly engages the crowd to sing along in both languages – whether performing solo or with her 5-piece band. 0Stella’s unique sound deftly combines Canadian rock with Irish storytelling and folk music\, drawing comparisons to Paramore\, Garbage\, Lana Del Rey and The Frames. The zero-waste advocate (thus the zero in her name) accumulated a staggering 8\,500 kms of cycling in support of her two albums\, Freefall (2022) and Skyward (2023)\, while advocating for environmental conservation. The cycling album tour took 0Stella across Canada and Europe. A full vinyl record\, Pendulum State\, will be released in 2025 on Dead Doll Records. \nMichelle Olson\nMichelle Olson is a member of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation and co-Artistic Director of Raven Spirit Dance. She studied dance and performance at the University of New Mexico\, the Aboriginal Arts Program at the Banff Centre and was an Ensemble Member of Full Circle First Nations Performance. She was the recipient of the inaugural Vancouver International Dance Festival Choreographic Award.  She graduated as a Certified Movement Analyst from Laban/Bartenieff and Somatic Studies Canada and is currently teaching at Langara’s Studio 58.  She recently received her MFA in Directing from the University of British Columbia.
