dance: made in canada/fait au canada is a biennial contemporary dance festival with the vision to present works by Canadian choreographers who possess unique artistic visions and come from all cultural backgrounds.
We kick off on Wednesday, August 14 with a special Toronto premiere presentation of Louise Lecavalier – In Motion, Raymond St-Jean’s feature documentary film about this luminous Montréal artist (who will join us for the screening and a Q&A). Then, over five jam-packed days, we’ll present the MAINSTAGE curated series and the lottery-drawn What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) series.
We are also thrilled to bring you our Arts Encounters program which shines a light on our multifaceted dance artists through site-specific interdisciplinary (Susie Burpee & Linnea Swan), hybrid media (Luke Garwood), and literary arts (Lindsay Zier-Vogel), as well as photography (Irvin Chow) and dance on film – it’s all ready for your participation.
