The second episode of the podcast about Linda Rabin’s pedagogical and artistic legacy, the opus brings together Rachel Harris and Linda Rabin for a discussion moderated by the lively Lucie Boissinot.

At age 17, after a one-week internship in Vancouver with Linda Rabin, Rachel Harris’s life was forever changed: the meeting was so decisive in the young dancer’s life that it prompted her to leave her hometown, move to Montréal and register at LADMMI (EDCM). Just like her classes, Linda Rabin, a voracious researcher, nourished and inspired the artist in her quest for autonomy and authenticity. After Linda’s classes, which evolved from technique classes to Body-Mind Centering and Continuum, and with Linda’s sustained support, Rachel Harris now approaches movement exclusively from within, listening to the inner sensations of her body.

Artistic research and the Wendat language

Cette recherche artistique me donne une nouvelle opportunité de faire vivre la langue wendat dans mon quotidien et j’en suis bien heureuse. Ce qu’il faut comprendre avec cette langue c’est que, comme mentionné dans mon premier article, elle est en dormance. Il n’y a plus de locuteurs depuis plus de 100 ans donc, nous avons plusieurs trous dans notre casse-tête linguistique.
