As part of the recent international, interdisciplinary and bilingual conference on Migration\/Representation\/Stereoptypes<\/a>, Dr. Henry Daniel<\/a>, Professor of Dance and Performance Studies in the School for the Contemporary Arts in the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology, Simon Fraser University, facilitated a masterclass on movement, migration and belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High school students, teachers, faculty members, visiting scholars and union representatives took part in the masterclass and explored stories about ‘contemporary nomads’<\/span> who move from place to place in search of physical, mental, psychological and spiritual sustenance. Using improvisation, spoken word, digital culture and dance, participants examined <\/span>nine characteristics of a ‘contemporary nomad’:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 1) An incessant curiosity that drives someone to keep searching for answers about their existence;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) A sense of belonging nowhere completely but at the same time having parts of one\u2019s identity that are at home in different places;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) An inability to immerse oneself completely in any one established community even though there is an almost romantic longing to do so;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) An ability to recognize others in the same predicament;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) A formal indoctrination in more than one language, cultural form, or institutional system;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) An attachment to these languages, cultural forms, or institutions and to the people who practice them;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Transplantation by force or other means from one or another of these institutional frameworks and\/or systems;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Someone who regularly and sometimes even fluidly moves between these systems and institutions;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) A desire not to be pinned down.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
