Founded in August 2014, Create-Move-Connect is a community-arts-based dance project. This project has several goals.
This project is intended to explore the question of what happens when improvisational dancers who are passionate about dance and dance as a community weekly (from 1-3 times per week), transform their free-form dance into choreographed works, intended for performance.
Dancers in Create-Move-Connect are part of the following overlapping Toronto Dance Communities: The Move, Ecstatic Dance Toronto Events, Contact Improvisation Toronto Jams, 5Rhythms Toronto Events, and other linked Toronto free-form dance events.
Create-Move-Connect organizes dance performances twice per year, in May and November.
A larger vision for this project is to build a company of performers who are interested to work creatively together, and build a repertoire of work that they can showcase more than once.
The project also builds friendships, community and leads to more cohesiveness and sharing.
Finally, the project has the possibility of inspiring others through showcasing the work of dancers of all ages and showing that choreography and dance performance are possible for everyone.
