2024 Contemporary Showcase

Featuring the Students of the Professional Division

Wed. March 20 at DJD

Performances at 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm

Graham McKelvie, Head of Contemporary Dance

Welcome to the Contemporary Showcase of 2024

This performance marks the end of our third term of the school year, a very busy time for the students and faculty. I am in awe of all our students have accomplished!

The contemporary dance world is so very diverse that it is difficult to know what ground you stand on. An important aspect of what we strive to achieve is in the conversations that are engendered by the works that were created for you tonight. They may range from creating metaphors or the value of abstraction. They might revolve around different shades of physicality or counting music that has a structure that is difficult to perceive. Art and artistry.

In the end, the hope is to encourage wonder in diverse forms of expression and to assist in creating a dancer with imagination and agency. Thank you for joining us for this journey!
