Christine is a certified yoga instructor for over 15 years
Christine is a proficient resilient Indigenous storyteller. She began her career with In the Land of Spirits in 1992 and has maintained a professional dance career for over 30 years, choreographing, solo work, commissioned work, youth creations and full scale productions. She is deeply connected to the cultural wellness of her people and works hard to maintain cultural traditions and gifts of her Anishnaabe people. She recently launched her company: Friday Creeations, a film and stage Production Company, allowing her to transition her skills into filmmaking to broaden her audience while fulfilling her potential. She recently won the 2018 KM Hunter Award for dance through the Ontario arts council, this award is given to those who demonstrate an original artistic voice while encouraging the artist to propel to the next level. Her intention is to awaken people within themselves, creating a shift change in the world by reflecting reality and the human experience. She is currently creating a Dance studio lodge in her home community of Bear Island, Lake temagami that will be the link to ensure on-going artistic creation with land-based activity within the community while expanding the connection to Indigenous arts professionals and diversity of arts practice. This cultural space will be an environment that is professional, welcoming, accessible, and safe to inspire collaborative visions where artists are free to learn, create, and perform.
