Are you a dancer involved in the Healing Arts in Canada? Would you like to meet other dance professionals to discuss where dance can move to further support health within our communities and how we can support one another to accomplish this?
Please join friends Miriam Schacter [founder of danceFIT danceABILITIES Canada and psychotherapist] and Twyla Kowalenko, MSW [Community Outreach Director of Dance Our Way Home] for a round table discussion and casual networking event in downtown Toronto. If you are located outside Toronto we will try to webcam or skype the evening.
For this initial meeting participants should have minimum of 2 years leadership experience in dance and healing arts. This includes physiotherapists, social workers, dance therapists, dance community workers and others who are already using dance in programming or outreach; however, later meetings promise to be wider in professional outreach and/or public interest.
Discussion topics so far include: personal meeting and introductions; talking about possible solo and joint ventures; research possibilities (medical, arts-based, blended methodologies); what we see in the communities and what is not being tended to; the state of dance-therapy in Canada; funds currently available to dancers in health or community projects; and what to do when a space-rental proves difficult. If you have topics you would like to see discussed at our first meeting, please let us know!
DATE: Sunday October 23rd
TIME: 5:30pm-7pm
LOCATION: Trinity St. Paul's Center 427 Bloor st. west of Spadina
ROOM: The Fireside room
COST: Free
Please feel free to contact miriam or twyla. It would be great if you could let us know you are coming and what you do. Please spread this link far and wide :)
