As the Scotiabank Dance Centre’s Open House on September 17th brings a day filled with dance and activities, it also kicks off the Dance Centre’s 2022-2023 season.
This season’s program is once again filled with performances and events by artists from a wide range of genres. The Global Dance Connections contemporary dance series features Canadian and international choreographers, and the popular Discover Dance! series presents dance from diverse cultural backgrounds. Other season highlights include the Iris Garland Emerging Choreographer Award recipient Shion Skye Carter, International Dance Day events, and residencies and research labs throughout the season.
“Throughout the pandemic we have remained passionately committed to supporting artists, sharing dance with audiences, and operating our building as a vibrant and safe creative hub,” says Mirna Zagar, The Dance Centre’s Executive Director. “As we move forward with hope and determination, I am so grateful to our resilient and creative artistic community, and to the audience members, donors, volunteers and partners who have been steadfast in their support for our work and the art of dance.”
