SUMMARY:2026 Awaken Festival - Dawson City - Trickster Performance Workshop by Philip Jonah Logan Geller
DESCRIPTION:This April\, Gwaandak Theatre and Klondike Institute of Art and Culture are excited to be presenting two in-person events in Dawson City as part of the 2026 Awaken Festival! \n\nJoin us for Trickster Performance on Wednesday April 15th – a workshop facilitated by Philip Jonah Logan Geller – alongside a one-night only presentation of their performance showcase “who will save the night sky?” on Friday April 17th.\n—\nBoth the workshop and the performance will be taking place at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom.\nAdmissions to these events is Pay-What-You-Want and pre-registration / tickets will be available at KIAC.CA / KIAC Office / At the Door prior to each event when doors open.\n—\n\nTrickster Performance (Workshop)By Philip Jonah Logan GellerWednesday\, April 15th – 6PM-8PM (Doors @ 5:30PM)Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom \n\nJoin experienced creator and performer Philip Jonah Logan Geller to explore trickster methodologies of performance and creation. Drawing from contemporary clown\, physical theatre\, Indigenous knowledges\, and Land-based practices we will uncover our tricksters to play and generate material for performance.\n\nAs we stand at the very serious edge of the end of the world I truly believe Trickster is a key to how we can move and play forward in right relation with each other. Trickster is the one who teaches us about subversion and challenging power. Trickster tells us to celebrate the other\, the strange\, and the queer. Trickster offers a new-ancient knowledge system that is ancestral and future oriented. \n\nIn this workshop we will move our bodies and play\, and we will explore ancestral and generational narratives that can stir up emotional responses\, everyone is welcome to participate in whatever way feels best for them. Please come ready to experiment and play! There will be some movement and writing\, all abilities are welcome. Please be aware that smudging will take place prior to this workshop. All are welcome to participate but none are required.\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Classic Cinema Night: Ikiru - April 19th
DESCRIPTION:Ikiru (1952)\nDir. Akira Kurosawa\nJapan | 1952 | 2h 23m \nFree entry\, Cash Concessions\, doors at 6:30. \nIn this gorgeous film\, the legendary Japanese director\, Akira Kurosawa adapts Leo Tolstoy’s 1886 novella\, “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” to tell the story of a bureaucrat\, Kanji Watanabe who learns how fleeting and precious life really is when he is diagnosed with stomach cancer. After  realizing he only has a short time left and concluding his job is absurd\, Kanji’s search for meaning reconnects him to the life he sacrificed for work. After years of stagnation\, the rediscovery and resurgence of his soul is unforgettable cinema and the ultimate memento mori. \nIkiru (Japanese – ‘to live”) is Akira Kurosawa’s answer to his existential musing about what it all really means. Considered by many to be his greatest (Samurai-free!) film\, this masterful study of life and afterlife is profoundly moving and relatable. Do yourself a favour and come on down this April 19th to affirm life by facing death. Free on Dawson’s only big screen at Dënäkär Zho/KIAC Ballroom.

SNRK are blazing their own path\, weaving together a musical fabric of hard-hitting lyricism\, revealing stories about the struggles they and their people have encountered\, empowering protest songs for the front lines\, and a humor that keeps even the heaviest of topics something you can vibe to. \n– \nMeet & Greet Package add-on \nIncludes: \n– Meet and Greet/Photo opportunity with Snotty Nose Rez Kids\n– Drawstring Bag\n– Sticker Pack\n– Hat\n– Early access to venue\n– Early access to shop merchandise \n\n— \nThank you to our funders: Canada Council for the Arts\, Government of Canada\, and Yukon Government. \nThank you to our local sponsor: Northern Vision Development / the Downtown Hotel
