Congratulations to the Cohort Program!
Congratulations to our 10 artists for the Cohort Program 2026 | After 5 months of mentorship and learning about the business side of dance, our artists have completed their program and are ready to tackle the world. These artists have expanded their networks while gaining insights from leading performing arts professionals with expertise in fundraising, producing, organizational management, communications, career planning, and finance. We are excited to see what their endeavours will bring to the community!
