Dance Temple Campbell River is excited to present:
THE FULLNESS OF TIME with DJ Artemx aka Mel Cassidy!
On this summer solstice, you are invited to come together to dance and celebrate the delight of the long days and warm nights!
Dance — and explore an experience of completion, of a cycle reaching its pinnacle. The beginning of summer brings with it a feeling of fullness: the beauty of a sunset and the gentle sound of the ocean lapping at your feet — it won't be there forever, so we savor it. Maybe for you fullness means feeling fulfilled in life, or perhaps fulfilling your potential. It could also be about the fullness of connection we have with others, finding that space where we can mutually let go of or resolve self-protective responses and soften into the deepest layers of trust.

Dancing with wildness, delighting in shadows and light, and deeply honoring everything that you bring, Artemx invites you into a journey woven from threads of soul and a collage of melody that will leave you transformed. Drawing from the music of their ancestral roots in the Middle East, India, Europe, and beyond, and blending with modern electronica and classical ambience alongside a gentle somatically-guided introduction and closing, they are known for curating sets that guide dancers to move in tune with their own, deepest Self.
Global nomad, cultural rebel, social misfit, lover of music and movement, Artemx has been weaving dance journeys since 2018. They are a second generation bodyworker, somatic movement practitioner, relationship coach, and in training as a somatic experiencing practitioner. Their first book, Radical Relating, will be published in September 2025.
Mel is of mixed Roma and Celtic heritage, and is humbled to live, love, study, and share, as a visitor on various Indigenous territories in the Pacific NorthWest.
As an immunocompromised dancer, Mel will facilitate masked for their own health and safety, and enthusiastically supports dancers who wish to mask.
