It was an amazing evening with bhangra performance, music and delicious food. Around 400 people came to attend it at Convention Centre (Coast High Country Inn) in Whitehorse on November 25, 2017 to benefit the Yukon Hospital Foundation!
Krisandra Reid joined Gurdeep Pandher as his co-performer for bhangra dance.
November 11, 2017 was the special day! It was the day when Bhangra Rush happened in Dawson City.
Thank you so much to all of you amazing people for braving -30 cold and attending my bhangra workshop at the Robert Service School. Your engagement in the class with such an attentive and enthusiastic energy was the most rewarding experience for me. During the 90-minute long workshop, we accomplished a lot and then you amazed me again at the end of the session by the wonderful group dance to the music.
A paining by the Yukon artist Colin Alexander on Gurdeep Pandher.
More info on Colin Alexander’s life and works from his website:-
Colin Alexander was born in Grande Cache, Alberta in 1978. At an early age he began pursuing an interest in art, copying the drawings of the old masters into his childhood notebooks. During his teenage years living on the gulf islands, he taught himself to draw with chalk pastels and to paint in oils and acrylics, inspired by the unique light effects of the Pacific Coast seascape.
A fascination with the works of Rembrandt and Vermeer led him to specialize in figurative work,and during his travels in Ireland, France and Spain in 1999-2000 he supported himself by drawing street portraits.
Colin settled in the Yukon in 2004, and built an off-grid studio outside of Whitehorse where he and his wife now live and work. Over the last twelve years he has painted over thirty murals throughout the city. His solo exhibitions have showcased insightful portraits and epic landscapes, created with traditional oil on canvas, street-art inspired stencil techniques, and copper sheets oxidized with a propane torch.
Throughout all of his work is evident his interest the quality of light; the way it falls on a face or a landscape, and the individuality it reveals.
I just love Canadian autumn. This is the season when nature display colourful paintings whichever side you look at! Beautiful colours offer enough power to lift up your imagination and spirits! This is the final display by the mother nature before a its big embrace into the winters.
You asked me why I had packed my bags and moved to the Yukon! Here is the answer! By the way, relaxing after a good hike in the beautiful goldensides hike-trail of Tombstone.
With Softball Team from India, which is in Whitehorse to play in World Men’s Softball. It was fun to spend this afternoon time chatting with these guys and sharing cool stories from India. Two of them are from the towns very close to my village in Punjab.
