CanAsian Dance is happy to announce a new partnership with Toronto Dance Theatre (TDT) for the 2024/25 season. EntryWaves is a pilot project open to any artist who identifies as being from the Asian Diaspora and who could benefit from free rehearsal space and time to work on their project or develop their practice.
We encourage artists, from emerging to established, who practice traditional forms and lineages, contemporary and experimental approaches, street dance forms and everything in between to apply!
Up to 6 artists will be offered, week long, half day residencies in the studio spaces of the Winchester Street Theatre during the Fall/Winter of 2024.
Interested artists can apply through the simple Google Form by August 30, 2024.
CanAsian and TDT are dedicated to bringing together Dance and community through creative and easy to participate programs that hold value in supporting critical artistic conversations and exploratory stages of new works. This is the first of many other partnerships to come as we build our relationship and strengthen solidarity to be able to offer more creative exchanges, knowledge-sharing representation and connection for the Asian Diaspora dance community and the greater dance community at large.
Target Applicants
CanAsian centers the Asian Diaspora dance community. Asian Diaspora includes and encompasses the whole continent of Asia such as South, East, South East, West, Central Asian Countries as well as the surrounding Pacific Islands.
Applications will be evaluated by a selection committee including CanAsian’s Artistic Lead Angie Cheng and TDT’s Artistic Director Andrew Tay, based on the artistic interests of the project and the desire to include a range of perspectives and aesthetics in the overall programming, as well as the potential impact on the artist’s work, and feasibility of their artistic goals.
Any questions should be directed to info@tdt.org.
