Training + Workshops
New Works offers training and workshops and hosts peer to peer knowledge sharing throughout the year. This series takes the form of ongoing annual education programs as well as adhoc gatherings hosted in direct response to community and partner need. Workshops may range from the now annual Cohort Program, to a one-off Grassroots Archiving workshop with Dance Collection Danse, to public community dance classes.
