Program Notes
This duet is an excerpt from an evening-length work titled Awáa, and was created together with Lara Barclay and Tobin Del Cuore of Aszure Barton & Artists in 2012. In the language of Haida Gwaii, a chain of islands on the west coast of British Columbia (Canada), the word awáa means “one who is a mother.”
