Discover Dance continues its partnership with Nova Dance, opening its doors to the community and schools by co-presentingDiscover Dance, a free, all-ages, lunch hour discussion series where you will be introduced to some of Toronto’s incredible dance artists.
Do you feel as though you need a personal translator to make sense of what’s going on when watching dance? Gain insights from dancers, choreographers, dance historians, and other experts to help demystify the art form’s practices today.
Conveniently presented at both TO Live’s uptown and downtown creative hubs, bring your lunch and have the opportunity to share your thoughts, to hear stories and ask questions, and to discover how dance forms from near and far are being woven in Toronto’s cultural scene.
“Discover Dance is about making connections between artists and audiences, between dance and our city,” says Nova Bhattacharya.
