Olson, by the way, is a dance instructor at the Shadbolt Centre. A bio on the Shadbolt website notes that she's a choreographer, performer and artistic director of Raven Spirit Dance, who focuses on developing work in the areas of dance, theatre and opera. She has studied at the University of New Mexico and with Full Circle First Nations Performance.

The performance runs from 11 a.m. to noon in the atrium.
