Thank you to the Canadian Council for the Arts for their generous support! by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts for our upcoming project : WOOD NOT THE GRAIN PLANE.

About Canada Council for the Arts

The Canada Council for the Arts contributes to the vibrancy of a creative and diverse arts and literary scene and supports its presence across Canada and around the world. The Council is Canada’s public arts funder, with a mandate to “foster and promote the study and enjoyment of, and the production of works in, the arts.” The Council’s grants, services, initiatives, prizes, and payments support Canadian artists, authors, and arts groups and organizations. This support allows them to pursue artistic expression, create works of art, and promote and disseminate the arts and literature. Through its arts funding, communications, research, and promotion activities, the Council fosters ever-growing engagement of Canadians and international audiences in the arts. The Council’s Public Lending Right (PLR) program makes annual payments to creators whose works are held in Canadian public libraries. The Council’s Art Bank operates art rental programs and helps further public engagement with contemporary arts through exhibition and outreach activities. The Council is responsible for the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, which promotes the values and programs of UNESCO to contribute to a future of peace, reconciliation, equity, and sustainable development.

Reconnection... by Charlotte Boye-Christensen

Lovely reconnecting today with this lovely group of dancers and directors of one of my favorite companies in Mexico. I have worked with this gorgeous group on/off since 2009 and it is so inspiring to see the company continuing to find ways to present work during the pandemic.
