Amalia Schelhorn taught Victoria, B.C., to dance to protect old-growth. This one-time National Ballet of Canada soloist helped bring media attention to the call to end old-growth logging in British Columbia by choreographing and organizing community dance protests. …I know the media likes visual and performing arts and, as a dancer and teacher, I had good networks. I choreographed and taped a dance to Bruce Cockburn’s If a Tree Falls and contacted everyone I could think of. …Three days later, 40 people, young and old, showed up to Dance for the Ancient Forests. We were very successful in attracting media attention because it was a novel and visually compelling protest. Since then, I have created another dance to a rewritten version of Stop In the Name of Love. …Once again, the media has picked up these protests.
