Perennial invites you to travel through time, guided by sapphic love and longing. Inspired by a yearning for sapphic joy in dance and film and supported by queer poetry, Perennial follows one woman on her journey through the ages to discover herself and what it means to joyfully love.

“The inspiration for my piece stems from my cultural background and teachings. I am of Cree descent, and this piece focuses on my take on how we cleanse through smudging. Our mind, heart, spirit, and physical being cleanse with our prayers to the Creator. I took a lot of physical inspiration from the way the sage burns, as well as the actual smoke we see moving through the air. Within the smudging, how we ask for guidance from our ancestors and animal brothers and sisters was also in mind while creating movement.”
