The second session of this panel series explores accessibility and inclusion in community and recreational dance. Participants will hear the perspectives of several interdisciplinary dance artists, educators, organizers, and facilitators from across Canada.

These invited artists and practitioners will consider what accessibility means in their scope of practice and how inclusive approaches are embedded in their work.

This two hour Zoom event will feature short presentations by:
⭐️ kumari giles
⭐️ Jen Briand, and
⭐️ Carolina Bergonzoni

Plus a moderated panel discussion facilitated by Gorge Michael, and time for questions from those participating.

Dance Nova Scotia is excited to host these amazing artists and learn from their perspectives and experiences.

ASL interpretation will be provided as well as English CART and a French translation stream.

If there are any questions about access measures or technical issues, or if you need additional support, please reach out to Dance Nova Scotia at:�[email protected]
