Just before Christmas, I had an intriguing email from Victoria contemporary dance artist Lori Hamar. She was delving into her Ukrainian roots and found out for the first time about the internment of Ukrainian Canadians in WWI. Shortly after that, she came across my anthology, Kobzar’s Children: A Century of Untold Ukrainian Stories<\/em> at the Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin, Manitoba. It spoke to so many of the questions she had and touched on a history she knew little about.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the stories in the book, Lori created a 60 minute contemporary dance called Bloodline. It will be performed at the end of this month.
