Corrine Derrickson, Syilx
Visual & Performing Artist |
Corrine Derrickson (Cori) is a Syilx artist from Westbank First Nation.
Cori's works are inspired by her indigenous traditional family knowledge and history includes that of dance, sculpture, music, song, writing, animation and production of multi-media works.
“I have a passion for performance art using song, dance and theatre to tell a story. I come from a family of natural storytellers past and present so I love to continue on that tradition with the use of multi-media productions as well.”
Being a student of holistic wellness and healing it is her perspective that we create art from the inside out reaching into the deepest of our souls to share it with the world. “When this creative native process happens, it is not only beautiful but it is also sacred”.
Currently Cori is in her second and final year of NAPAT (National Aboriginal Artist Training) along with finishing her FINA from University of Victoria. In July Cori will be showcasing her Eagle Dance Performance at an International Conference in Peru. Her future goals are to continue on at UVIC or to transfer to the Sante Fe Institute of Indigenous Arts
