Dance In Vancouver: Dance And Writing as Reflective Spaces for Emerging Artists

 

DANCE AND WRITING AS REFLECTIVE SPACES FOR EMERGING ARTISTS

With Katie Cassady, Elysse Cloma, Jessica McMann, Haliehana Stepetin, Christian Vistan

Facilitated by Jane Gabriels and Simran Sachar

As part of Re-centering/Margins residencies produced by Dance West Network , emerging dance artists of colour were offered the opportunity to invite emerging writers of colour to accompany their in-studio processes. Working with this form of active and creative documentation has opened new paths of exploration, reflection and introspection, for both dancers and writers. Please join this conversation as they reflect on these spaces between and of creative exploration which may prove useful tools for future inspirations.

In partnership with Dance West Network

Presented as part of the 13th biennial Dance In Vancouver, November 24-28, 2021.
