ABOUT THE VOICES DANCE PROJECT

The Voices Dance Project (VDP) is a non-profit project that puts dancers at the heart of artistic creation in a collaborative, supportive, and accessible environment.

VDP aims to give part-time, hobbyist or “amateur” dancers a space to explore choreography and expression. The project supports dancers looking to workshop choreographic projects and create opportunities for them to train and perform on stage or in multimedia productions. The project specifically aims to provide an alternative creative space for amateur dancers trained in ballet, modern dance, contemporary dance, indigenous dance styles and traditional dance styles from around the world.

Through these performances, Voices hopes that artists will be able to develop experience, connect with artists from a variety of backgrounds, and discover new ways of expressing themselves.
