In Spring 2024, I led an independent qualitiative exploratory study on behalf of Dance Umbrella of Ontario to capture insights from experienced dance leaders on a potential new dance hub at Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS).
We brought together 12 senior dance artists for a series of individual interviews. This research explores making the proposed space welcoming to diverse dance artists and dance styles, exploring new models of governance, and demonstrating the need for a dance hub in Toronto.
The main themes that emerged from the one-on-one interviews were Affordability, Accessibility, and Cultural Competency. Read the full report.
This project was funded by the Government of Canada, supported in partnership with Canada’s National Ballet School with technical support from Mass Culture/mobilisation culturelle. I thank all study participants for their insights, explorations and ambition in envisioning a new dance hub.
