Dancing the Space Inbetween: Lacy Morin-Desjarlais,
Trudy Stewart,
Janine Windolph
"imagineNATIVE is awarding a special Honourable Mention this year for the short film "Dancing the Space Inbetween" to recognize the tragic death of director Lacy J. Morin-Desjarlais. Lacy was a committed young artist who died last February in a car accident that also took the life of her collaborator on the film, Regina artist Michele Sereda. The tragedy also claimed the life of well-known Calgary theatre artist Michael Green and Blackfoot elder Narcisse Blood. Lacy was dedicated to her art, which bridged traditional culture and contemporary practice, as seen in this beautiful film, an elegy to the children who died attending the Regina Indian Industrial School."
