Kyana proposes a conversation centered on her choreographic project in development, Plutonian Remedy. She invites us into an open dialogue about her creative process, which explores embodied decolonization. Reflecting on the impacts and reverberations of a practice rooted in anti-colonial work, Kyana examines auto-sexualization, performative identities, and narratives of the feminine that subtly weave through bodies, gestures, and voices.Her approach reveals intricate entanglements of myth, masks, and memory. Within this terrain, she seeks out the body’s resonances, sculpting raw, guttural voices that move through the layered strata of lived experience and Anishinaabe inheritance.

Moments of resonance
Alongside its performance program, the OFFTA offers moments of discovery and exchange with artists supported by LA SERRE through the Radial Residencies, a program that accompanies artists in the artistic and structural development of their projects.

Workshops, conversations, readings, experiments, and work-in-progress showcases: these gatherings offer a window into their dramaturgical research, creative methodologies, and current questions. These multifaceted moments encourage the cross-pollination of practices and the circulation of ideas.

These activities are free and open to all.
