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

Where movement becomes storytelling and dance transforms into ritual. A unique embodiment and self-discovery practice designed for mystical seekers, creatives, and witchy souls who crave a deeper connection to their bodies and intuition. Through guided movement, ritual, and community, we help you unlock self-knowledge, awaken creativity, and cultivate unshakable self-awareness—without rigid fitness rules or feeling disconnected from your magic.

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.

About

Join us for an afternoon filled with enchantment, celebration, and community as Body Art Motion hosts the 5th Annual BLOOM spring celebration! As we near the longest day of the year we gather in community to honor this powerful transition with intention and joy. Step into one of Calgary’s most magical historical buildings, where you’ll be immersed in an afternoon of wonder and warmth.

As Winter comes to a close, we gather in community to celebrate the return of the light, the annual ‘sunrise moment’ of the year – the cross quarter of the fey and emergence of nature! Mark your calendars for Saturday April 6th, for EMERGE, our fourth annual celebration! Join us in a realm of enchantment, where wonders await at every turn.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

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.
