Pledge to make a difference, together.
In 1974, a group of independent dancers joined together to create and perform new choreography -- to push the boundaries of creation.
It has now been three decades, and Dancemakers remains on the leading edge of contemporary dance in Canada. Under the artistic direction of Serge Bennathan from 1990 to 2006, the company's reputation has continued to spread throughout Canada, the Americas and Europe.
In August 2006, award-winning dancer/choreographer Michael Trent was invited to take the lead as the Company's and Centre's Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer.
At the core of the Company's and the Centre's philosophy is the desire to promote and facilitate new creation, and professional and audience development activities that are rooted in contemporary aesthetics, cross-disciplinary dialogues and collaborative engagement.
