Compaigni V'ni Dansi: Aboriginal Dance Festival

We have a wide variety of skills to offer our clients. We're not just a singular type of company. We have people behind the scenes that are working hard to get things done and to get it done right. People is the most important part of what Left Right Minds offers. Oh, and we also have a few pugs that help out in many ways.

We are a Drupal shop. Drupal is one of the most amazing content management systems currently in the open source market. We use it to do pretty much everything. It is scalable, extensible, flexible, and bends to our will. Every site we develop is built on this solid platform.

We are excited to be a part of the Canadian performing arts community and offer artist management services for a roster of five fabulous and eclectic arts groups. Our artists are Vancouver-based performers who perform locally and tour in British Columbia, Canada and internationally. Combined with our web skills, our solutions are a fully realized experience.

We work with clients over the long term. We don't like to develop solutions and then disappear. We work and plan over for the long haul and create a legacy plan with our clients. For shorter term projects, we provide an intense and complete service to make sure you're up and running quicker and faster.

Working with companies, charities, and festivals excites us. We love to get things done and invite people to come and enjoy the events we help to produce. Getting people together and making sure they are having a good time makes us smile and our clients too.

Come and Dance: an Aboriginal Dance Festival

Bringing Traditional & Contemporary Dance to Vancouver’s 125th Celebrations.

Compaigni V'ni Dansi (CVD) Society is thrilled to announce Come and Dance: an Aboriginal Dance Festival, taking place in Vancouver November 16-19, 2011.

Vancouver is located in the heart of traditional Aboriginal territory and as the city celebrates the 125th year of its founding, Come and Dance honours the traditional and contemporary dance of our Aboriginal communities.

Dance is a vital component of spiritual and creative expression for many Aboriginal cultures. As Métis performers, CVD believes that dance can communicate profound emotions and ideas. The Festival, which invites participants to “come and dance”, will build connections between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal dance communities as well as the wider communities that make up contemporary Vancouver.

The event is an expansion of CVD’s successful Louis Riel Day Celebration, held each year in mid-November. This year, we mark Louis Riel Day on November 16th with a free community event at the Aboriginal Friendship Centre. Everyone is invited as we celebrate Louis Riel and start the Festival.

The Festival then moves to the Scotiabank Dance Centre for two days featuring programs that celebrate West Coast to Contemporary Dance (on November 17th) and Plains to Contemporary Dance (on November 18th). Among the artists featured are Bob Baker and the Eagle Song Dancers, Raven Spirit Dance and Nyla Carpentier. Both events at the Dance Centre will be hosted by Greg Coyes.

The Festival concludes on November 19th with an evening of Métis dance and performance. Among the featured performers will be Andrea Menard and the Louis Riel Métis Dancers.

More information on the Festival, including a full list of artists participating, will be available shortly.

Come join us for Come and Dance and celebrate the multi-faceted Aboriginal heritage that is a vital part of Vancouver's cultural identity today.
