The time frame of the minute is a marker for our day-to-day existence, helping us deal with each other in this daily ritual of negotiation: ‘Hold on a minute!’ ‘Give me a minute?’ ‘Do you have a minute?’

How does the body move through this measure of time that can be so short or so long.

How do we, simply living through a series of minutes, survive and maybe, just maybe, make some sense out of it all.

 No watches allowed.

Driven by the vision of Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer Michael Trent, Dancemakers draws on the diverse talents and individual strengths of its artists to create contemporary dance works that provoke and entertain.

At its core is the desire to promote new works rooted in contemporary aesthetics, cross-disciplinary dialogues and collaborative engagement.

For almost four decades Dancemakers has been on the leading edge of dance in Canada. In 2002 the company established its current home The Centre for Creation, a place where creativity and creative exchange are fostered and nurtured, where dynamic encounters between artists and public enrich and develop contemporary dance. Along with making bold contemporary dances, the organization promotes and encourages contemporary practice through ongoing professional development events and activities including daily dance classes, master classes, residencies and choreographic labs, Youth Outreach activities, and the biennial Dancemakers Presents series, which showcases national and international artists.
