Transform Dance

Transform Dance was a pilot project about finding ways into healing and transformation, both at the individual and at the collective level, within the dance sector in Toronto.

In particular, we were interested in addressing harassment (sexual, gender-based and otherwise) and transforming the culture of the dance sector.

Work on this project concluded in August 2020. Read our March 2021 blog post releasing the final report and podcast here.

Resources

A list of resources related to gender-based harassment and violence, including mental health and healing services, was created for this project in July 2019 and can be accessed here.

We also invite you to visit resources on the Harassment and Mental Health pages on ArtistProducerResource.com.

Acknowledgments

The Transform Dance project came out of a summer 2018 conversation discussing what service organizations could do for harassment in dance in the wake of #MeToo. This project was supported through Toronto Arts Council Strategic Funding (Open Door), and was also supported through Generator’s core funding from Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts.
