About

Body Art Motion (aka BAM) was established in 1998 by Tanya Lee. Her passion is to bridge ancient practices with modern lifestyles by aligning with the inherent magick found in natural rhythms of fire, water, air and earth. With the support, feedback and love of our community, this body of work continues to evolve towards a collective need.

CONJURE MOTION

A nature inspired fusion dance format that explores ancient sciences, western mystery tradition, astrology and tarot and then weaves it into logical practices inspired by the techniques found in global folkloric dances, yoga, martial arts, and other movement disciplines. All levels of experience, all bodies, and all genders are welcomed.

WITCHY WOMAN

All genders welcome. Explore the universal language of life force energy, tides of the moon, and patterns of nature through the seasons. Feel supported in a like-minded community as you connect with the language of symbols through astrology and tarot to explore the balance between the seen and the unseen. Discover for yourself what is relevant and effective for your life.

PERFORMANCE ART

This is where we deepen our studies by nurturing the art of storytelling.  Explore your imagination, sharpen your focus, and relax into a flow state that transforms your vessel into a channel for your inherent ancestral nature. Study character development, costuming, movement and emotive. Develop a connection with a receptive audience through archetypal and conceptual embodiment.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge the land on which we work from, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, with the traditional Blackfoot name of “Moh’kins’tsis”, which we now know as the City of Calgary. This is the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations).  Other Nations who are a part of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta also call this place home, which includes the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).  This territory is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations, Indigenous and non, who live, work and play, as well as help steward this land, honour and celebrate this territory.
