Chapter 5: BONES
Featuring Jane Ellison
Performed by Jane Ellison
Cinematography and Editing by Luciana Freire D'Anunciaçao
Jane Ellison is a Vancouver-based dancer, teacher and artist focused in embodied somatic practices. Since 1975 Ellison has participated in, organized and led numerous performances and workshops at the artist-run centre Western Front, with her ongoing movement class Boing being her primary site of research. Her cross-disciplinary work reflects and is influenced by this locus; a building that has acted as a studio space, gallery, dance studio and home to artists. Between 1991 and 2008, Jane was on faculty at Studio 58, Langara College’s theatre school. This milieu provided another opportunity to work through dance in relation to art, performance, and life. Underlying her practice is an applied philosophy rooted in Buddhadharma.
Chapter 5 of Reflections on a window glass was shot in the Sunshine Coast, on the unceded traditional territories of the Squamish (skwxwú7mesh), Sechelt (shíshálh), Tla’amin and Klahoose nations.
