We are proud to launch a special series of podcasts highlighting the ICC Inuit Artist of the Month. On the first Thursday of every month in 2023 we’ll hear from one of the 12 winners. Thanks to funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Language Component, each artist is provided a bursary to further their art.
In this episode, host Madeline Allakariallak speaks with Simik Komaksiutiksak, who is from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. Simik is a dancer, choreographer, and circus artist and has travelled around the globe.
A few of Simik’s show highlights include the “Sept moments du Joie” video show with Cirque Éloize, dancing for the song “Taboo” from the Black Eyed Peas at the North American Indigenous Games, and performing on the Sky Dancers tour with the Anowara Dance Theatre.
Simik worked as a guest artist for the Arctic Rose foundation teaching dance and other art forms to youth from Rankin Inlet, and other Inuit communities.
