Markian Tarasiuk on the First of its Kind Exhibit About Ukrainian Dance

Today we are joined by Markian Tarasiuk. He is a famous Canadian-Ukrainian actor and an alumnus of the Rusalka Dance ensemble. Even though Markian was born and raised in Canada, he devoted much of his life to Ukrainian culture and dance.

Tarasiuk is curating Oseredok's newest exhibition celebrating 60 years of Rusalka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, which opens today, June 05. The upcoming unveiling titled 'The Journey Through Ukrainian Dance' is an exhibit in partnership with Rusalka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble and Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre.

What's the process behind creating a museum exhibit, and why is showcasing dance important for preserving Ukrainian culture? Find out on the newest episode of Community Hour.
