ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF TRADITIONAL LANDS
Maxine Heppner and Across Oceans Arts is based in T'karonto Canada, sacred land that has been home to human cultural activity for over 15,000 years. We honour and acknowledge the original caretakers of this land: the Mississaugas of New Credit, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Anishinaabe and the Huron/Wendat, and all peoples and living beings, named and unnamed, born into and newcomers, who live on this earth with respect and grace.

As leader: to be now while considering what next, and relating all to what we've just done is the necessary skill- "sensing" now, thought of before and future-...when there is this added aspect of tech interfaces, the pull is not so much between "sensing and thought", as it is between practicing/thinking dance and the delivery of this work through this platform. I am always asking myself if that's because this also needs practice...and if decades of practice are needed are needed as was needed for the "sensation and thought"? leading me to "Yikes what happens between now and the then?" (for facilitator, art maker, art receiver).
