Dancer and digital media artist Sadie Segriff is spending two weeks as the Artist in Residence at Casa Lethbridge, offering local residents a chance to engage with their creative work from May 11 to May 25, 2026.
The residency is part of a program managed by the Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge, which provides artists with studio space at the centre located at 230 8th Street South. As part of their time in the city, Segriff will host two public events to share their practice, which focuses on human identity and the connection between people and the natural environment.
Residents can participate in an Intuitive Movement workshop on Thursday, May 21, in the Casa dance studio. The workshop runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the cost is $10 plus GST. To conclude the residency, a free Performance and Potluck event will take place on Monday, May 25, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the community room.
Segriff, who was raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, is a graduate of the School of Performance Dance Program at Toronto Metropolitan University. Beyond their solo practice, they are an apprentice with the Whitehorse-based company Borealis Soul and co-founded the Off Course Footing collective, which focuses on performing dance in natural environments rather than traditional theatre settings.
Casa Lethbridge, which opened in May 2013, supports working artists through this residency program. The program requires visiting artists to facilitate public engagement activities to help connect the broader community with their creative process.
