ABOUT

Kinetic is a non-profit contemporary dance support organization dedicated to the creation, development, and presentation of contemporary dance. Based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, Kinetic is dedicated to supporting independent professional dance artists.

Kinetic continues to provide established and relied upon platforms for presentation and development, while also introducing new and innovative programs that directly work to address the gaps and opportunities within our sector. Our role is to foster a vibrant professional contemporary dance scene by providing workshops, classes, artistic residencies, and a seasonal program of finished works and works-in-process in a supportive, responsive, and flexible environment that allows dance artists to develop to their fullest artistic potential.

Kinetic is committed to building and nurturing spaces where artists can explore, create, and grow with equity, justice, and respect. We recognize the inequities in our society that result in many artists being vulnerable to abuse, harassment, and discrimination. We reject these abuses of power, and commit to working towards creating safer spaces for everyone. We work to uphold an environment in which all artists can create with the freedom and respect we all deserve.

Kinetic is committed to programming and supporting artists who represent a diversity of gender identities, races, sexual orientations, physical or mental abilities, and ethnicities.
