Insights into France-Canada creative exchange: Since 2022, New Works has been supporting an international artistic collaboration project, initiated by Compagnie KHOR/Khoudia Touré (France/Senegal) with Out Innerspace Dance Theatre (Vancouver).

Mark your calendars; there is something exciting for everyone coming up this season!
Last year we celebrated these relationships with special 30th anniversary programming.

Plus a host of residencies, studio showings, and other presentations – both familiar and fresh!
Thank you for Applying to New Works' Call for Applications 2024-25!
In January 2024 we opened our call for applications to All Over The Map performance opportunities (8 spots), Studio and Theatre Residencies (2 spots), and our Summer Production Internship (1 spot). Over one month we received 71 applications, double as many as we received last year! Thank you once again to every artist who took the time to apply; we carefully read and considered every application and appreciated the opportunity to get to know you and your work a little bit better.
New Works invites expressions of interest from dance and movement artists to participate in our 2024-25 season of performance, residency, and learning opportunities. Apply to perform at All Over The Map on Granville Island; to be an Artist in Residence in the studio or theatre; or to join the New Works team as the Summer Production Intern.
