Dance Criticism
Perceptions, challenges and the future
A multi-platform symposium
In today's digital, hyper-documented age, does dance criticism hold the same value it once did? How do dance artists relate to the practice of criticism? The Dance Current and Turn Out Radio are asking these questions and more across print, radio and a live digital gathering to explore both the challenges and opportunities of dance criticism today.
Join us live
On April 15th, join the Chair of Dance Media Group, Timea Wharton-Suri, as she looks ahead to the future of criticism with some of Canada's leading performance writers and dancers.
We’re thrilled to welcome dance critics Jenna Shummoogum and Deirdre Kelly, along with dance artists Jera Wolfe and Nova Bhattacharya. Nadia George, a Mi’kmaq-Canadian actor, speaker and advocate, will join us to conduct a land acknowledgement.
Reserve your ticket today to guarantee a spot in this live conversation.
This digital event is co-presented with Turn Out Radio.
