Orange T-Shirt Beading Circle
Wednesday September 16, 2020

Orange Shirt Day is a national movement to honour and recognize the survivors and children lost through the process of Residential schools. This initiative calls for everyone to wear an orange shirt annually on September 30th in the spirit of healing and reconciliation. This date was chosen as the day because this was the time of year that the buses would enter the communities to “collect” the children. Join us in beading Orange shirt pins to learn, talk and acknowledge the experiences of Residential school children. Come join us in making a special pin that you can wear on Orange Shirt Day. Beading kits are available for pick-up at Sadleir House from September 7th-11th (Email opirg@trentu.ca for a pick up time), limited supplies available!

Disorientation Week: Indigenous Sovereignty 101

Indigenous Sovereignty 101
Tuesday September 17, 2020
2pm
Indigenous knowledge (IK) is resurging, and it is seen by many people as a panacea to much of what industrialization and capitalism has imposed on who humans are, the land we live on, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. All peoples and cultures have their own ancestral IK. While this is the situation, many people struggle with understanding the essentials of IK asking such questions as what is IK, where is IK located, and how can they access IK beyond appropriating it from the Indigenous people of Turtle Island?
In this talk, Lynn Gehl will draw on ancient Anishinaabe scroll knowledge and her own models discussing the intelligence of the heart, traditional symbolic literacy traditions, as well as Indigenous ways of knowing and sharing knowledge. Drawing on her experience, learning, and past and ongoing work she will cover such things as where IK is located, how we establish a relationship with IK, and how IK is disseminated. This moderated talk will require deep thinking on the part of listeners because it requires conceptual thought processing, and also because it will honour the listeners’ own relationship in coming to value IK

Instigating Resilience Through Poetry & Verbatim Dance

Sadleir House Lawn

Instigating Resilience Through Poetry & Verbatim Dance, is an accessible and integrated arts workshop combining poetry, theatre, dance, and physical comedy. The Council of Ontario
Drama and Dance Educators defines Verbatim Theatre as, “involving the creation of theatre drawn word for word from interviews or conversations” (CODE, 2019). For this workshop, poems brought or created by the participants will act as “interviews” which participants will translate into movement. Emphasising consent and collaboration, the workshop uses simple exercises to develop complex and engaging performances and invites attendees to examine creative possibilities beyond the page or microphone. No dance experience is necessary: if you breath you dance; it’s impossible to remain static on a planet in motion. Working with gesture and voice, we create a common movement vocabulary which small groups
use to develop short pieces throughout the workshop. Participant driven, strength-based and focused on play as a form of growth, creativity, and exploration, Instigating Resilience Through Poetry & Verbatim Dance propels the imagination by centring the body. The workshop is facilitated by 2019 Hot Damn It’s a Queer Slam winner, Wes Ryan. Since 2007, after a sudden attack of gravity and developing a traumatic brain injury, Wes has been devoted to creating inclusive art spaces and has worked with organizations such as The Brain
Injury Association of Peterborough Region, CMHA, the John Howard Society, and Autism Ontario.
*Accessibility Note: This workshop is designed with an emphasis on accessibility and inclusion.
The methodology promotes safety, consent, and communication. Where there are limits (lack of ASL interpreter as an example), other forms of communication (written) are incorporated. Open to service providers and individual supports.
***Please note: masks are required
