Artist Support

New Works envisions community as a space where all artists have support to operate from a place of abundance, sustainability, and resilience.

Since 1998, New Works has offered stable, affordable, and responsive strategic management and administrative support to some of Vancouver’s most innovative dance artists. We are proud to collaborate with our partners, big or small, to offer support as best serves the artist or organization at each stage of its lifecycle. In the past this support has taken a range of forms from hands-on holistic organizational management, project and touring support, and production management, to assisting an organization in incorporating as a non-profit, building strategic and marketing plans, and developing transparent financial practices. Over the course of a season individual artists seek support with New Works through grant writing, design, and marketing clinics, alongside ongoing mentorship relationships and personal consultation and feedback. We strive to support through resource sharing, making space for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange, and networking across local, national, and international communities.

Current Management

Out Innerspace Dance Theatre

Out Innerspace Dance Theatre is devoted to creating exciting and integral contemporary dance works. Determined to be innovative yet accessible, they push beyond traditional aesthetics and forms with unreserved ingenuity. Through research and experimentation, OIS celebrates the importance of challenging the preconceptions of what can be expected, experienced and expounded in contemporary dance.

New Works has been supporting contemporary creators David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen + their training initiative, Modus Operandi, since 2012. In 2018, OIS brought on a second administrative staff member employed and supported by New Works, and shared administrative resources. New Works has helped OIS during the development and touring of Vessel, Me So You So Me, Major Motion Picture and current piece Bygones. In 2021, as New Works relocated its’ office to Arts Umbrella Q7 where OIS operates, there is even more opportunities for collaboration and creative partnership between the organizations.
