New Works creates responsive, artist-centred programs shaped by the ever-evolving needs of diverse dance communities. At its core, our work is about making space — space for artists to grow, for audiences to connect, and for community-responsive programs to thrive. We work to remove systemic barriers against equity-owed individuals and practices and carry these values throughout our programs. We ask ourselves…How can we best support dance artists today? How can we best support the wider dance ecosystem into the future? That question guides our work across presentations, residencies, outreach, and artist support services. And much of our less public-facing work in advocacy support, future program planning, and partnerships. We recognize this work as interconnected, collaborative, and transformative. As a 30+ year old organization, our approach continues to shift and evolve, but the guiding questions remain the same; grounded in relationships and ongoing collaboration with the artists and communities we serve.
New Works offers training and workshops and hosts peer to peer knowledge sharing throughout the year. This series takes the form of ongoing annual education programs as well as adhoc gatherings hosted in direct response to community and partner need. Workshops may range from the now annual Cohort Program, to a one-off Grassroots Archiving workshop with Dance Collection Danse, to public community dance classes.
