Dance

Ivanie Aubin-Malo, a Wolastoq and Quebec choreographer, performer, and curator, won the 2023 Prix de la danse de Montréal in the Revelation category. In November 2024, Ivanie debuted her interdisciplinary show Wahsipekuk: Beyond the Mountains, a reimagined tale invoking the giants of the Wabanaki Confederacy, with its premiere held at Montreal’s Agora de la danse. Since 2020, she has founded and coordinated the MAQAHATINE collective’s event series, connecting Indigenous movement artists to facilitate the sharing of cultural and technical knowledge and foster bold collaborations. She also contributes to the conceptualization of recurring events such as OHAKWARONT and Nikak Tagocniok. Based in L’Islet (QC) in Wolastokuk, Ivanie dreams of establishing a Wolastoqey cultural center in the region to help community members reconnect through cultural and artistic events.
