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.

GRATITUDE

The Choreographic Marathon is grateful for the generosity of participating artists, the partnership with Pia Bouman Studios & the support of The City of Toronto through Toronto Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, & Across Oceans Angels.
