Remembering Amelia was a series of gatherings initiated and produced by New Dance Horizons. Lead curator Robin Poitras and two Itcush Method teachers Ashley Johnson and Kana Nemoto accompanied the touring display to six western Canadian locations:

 
 
  • MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, SK
  • Chapel Gallery, North Battleford, SK
  • Open Space Art Society, Victoria, BC
  • The Dance Centre, Vancouver, BC
  • Dancers Studio West, Calgary AB
  • Dance Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK
 
 

The project was completed in December 2014 with a final presentation at New Dance Horizons in Regina. Susan McKenzie served as the project’s scribe.
