Movement & Dance

• Call-to-Artists I Alberta Dance Alliance –ADA is currently working on a pilot research project to find ways to resolve several sectoral challenges faced by the dance sector in Alberta. The research project aims to come up with solutions to resolve various sectoral challenges, such as the digital divide, intellectual property concerns, global reach, and community building. In the initial stages of our research it was uncovered that developing a collaborative platform could act as a central hub for many diverse and semi-autonomous activities and participants. Hence, to create a collaborative platform for the Alberta dance sector, we are looking for artists to conduct user interviews to further understand the needs of our Albertan dance artists that this collaborative platform would fulfill.
