Nanaimo Arts Council Creative Currents Event

Dance: Our first love with Holly Bright

The Nanaimo Arts Council is pleased to welcome Holly Bright as host of the Creative Currents event for January. The theme for this event is Movement: our first language. Dance: our first love. Holly is a performer and dance educator. Holly’s contribution to the arts community in the city of Nanaimo leads the way in innovation, experiment, and invitation to participate. This Creative Currents session will be a wonderful opportunity to learn both from and about the woman whom we most often see on the stage as a dancer or in the wings as Artistic Director. Join us for an informative and engaging afternoon.
