“Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, ajeerneq dancer… now Honorary Tuniq!”
April 09, 2013
As Iqaluit gets ready to celebrate the April 12 opening of the city’s Toonik Tyme spring festival, organizers decided to start a new tradition.
They announced the identity of the honorary “Toonik” or “Tuniq,” who presides over the 10-day event, ahead of time in a tweet sent out April 8, rather than wait to reveal the identity of the honorary festival head during the festival’s opening ceremonies.
“Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, ajeerneq dancer, storyteller, poet, mother, wife, intellectual, artist, friend, enchantress, & now Honorary Tuniq!” reads the Toonik Tyme message on Twitter.
Williamson Bathory, 34, chairs the Qaggiavuut Society for a Nunavut performing arts centre,
Williamson Bathory is also a Greenlandic mask dancer who has performed during previous Toonik Tyme celebrations.
