It is 2024 and Dancemakers is 50 years old

This is a time of crucial and critical looking back for Dancemakers. As a way to commemorate this anniversary, we worked with Artist Researchers to read “against the grain” of our archive, which is housed at Dance Collection Danse (DCD) located at 2 Carlton St Unit 1303 in Tkaranto.

Each artist researcher was given a one-week (paid) Writing Residency at Dance Collection Danse (or remotely using DCD's digital archives) with the intention to produce content that will permanently live on Dancemakers' new website (set to launch spring 2025).
