Katie Adams Gossage reflects on her own experiences while reading the ‘Yearbook Survey of Dance’ filled out by Dancemakers in 1976.
Katie Adams Gossage reflects on her own experiences of being an independent dancer while reading the responses from the ‘Yearbook Survey of Dance’ filled out by Dancemakers in 1976
In 2024, Dancemakers turned 50 years old.
This was 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’ website.
