From October 17th to 22nd, we observe Secret Path Week, an annual event dedicated to honoring the legacies of Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack. These dates mark the anniversaries of Gord Downie’s and Chanie Wenjack’s entering the spirit world. Chanie, only 12 years old, fled from Cecilia Jeffrey Residential School in Kenora, Ontario, and walked along the train tracks for 36 hours before succumbing to exposure on October 22. Although Chanie is no longer with us, his story lives on through Gord Downie’s album Secret Path.

Join us virtually to learn directly from Indigenous artists, scientists, musicians, writers and more!

For Dancing the Land, Indigenous Theatre invited artists from coast to coast to coast to create brief digital works using the land as their source of inspiration. We were gifted passionate, raw, and beautiful explorations of the artists’ relationships to the land and this moment in time.

We present to you these 18 incredible creations from across Turtle Island and beyond. These pieces come from community; they arrive by the roots of the people who have always been here.

Welcome to Dancing the Land.

"Chaque année, l’École nationale de ballet du Canada charge un.e artiste canadien.ne d’élaborer une chorégraphie qui reflète un thème réfléchi.

Créée par Kimberley Cooper, Eugene Baffoe, Tracee Smith et Roger Sinha, la Chorégraphie Dansons Ensemble avec l’ÉNB de 2023 célèbre le pouvoir de la collaboration ainsi que la diversité et le dynamisme des artistes danseurs canadiens. La chorégraphie originale a été créée en 2017 dans le cadre d’un projet Signature pancanadien à l’occasion de Canada 150, et nous nous réjouissons de présenter, cette année, une nouvelle version de cette œuvre. Des vidéos incluant des instructions détaillées vous guident tout au long de la chorégraphie, que vous souhaitiez investir dans l’apprentissage et l’exécution de l’œuvre complète, ou que vous préfériez explorer seulement une petite partie du matériel.

La chorégraphie est créée en amont de la Journée Dansons ensemble de l’ÉNB, un événement festif national axé autour de la danse qui réunit des dizaines de milliers de personnes issues de communautés à travers le pays."

Who can see my students' work?
The DL Hub is committed to protecting the privacy of student data. When a teacher makes a copy of a course they have created a private version of that course. Only the teacher and other students enrolled in the course will have access to the data. The agreement with our platform partner details that Pathwright ensures compliance with all applicable federal and California laws and regulations regarding collection and maintenance of student data, including, but not limited to, Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and California’s Student Online Personal Information Protection Act.
