Dance Canvas Summer Artist Residency: Midsummer Performances
Contemporary Dance
The Summer Dance Residency choreographers present their in-progress works in this three-day event. Each choreographer will share their performance that they began conceptualizing in July, followed by a Q&A session.
Atlanta Contemporary and Dance Canvas have partnered on the new Dance Canvas Summer Artist Residency, which provides time and space to dance artists in metro Atlanta. Through this new residency program, Atlanta Contemporary and Dance Canvas offer resources and a platform for the creation and presentation of works in a response to both COVID-19 shutdowns and the continued need to address racism and inequality in our communities. The residency serves as a creative outlet for dance artists while supporting and amplifying diverse voices.
