With the support of the Roundhouse, New Works is pleased to support new dance creation in the community through a creative theatre residency. This now-annual winter theatre residency gives a dance artist time and space to create in a fully equipped theatre. On the second day, the public will be invited into the process to observe a ‘work-in-progress showing’ led by the artist. More information about the work and showing will be announced at newworks.ca/residency.
