Branch Collective would like to acknowledge
that the land we gather to train, create and build community on is the territory of the Anishinabek and the Odawa of the three fires confederacy. We would also like to acknowledge the territories of the Cree, Moose Cree, Metis, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat as the land utilized by the greater Northern Ontario dance community. The very foundation of Branch Collective fosters our heritage in Northern Ontario and acknowledges how the land has helped to shape who we are. We recognize and give thanks to the caretakers of the land who have provided our collective and community the possibility and freedom to develop physical and creative practices together throughout Northern Ontario.
Northern Dance Film initiative - call for applications!
After our first year of running this program and producing DANCE ONSCREEN, our team is once again embracing some new ideas within this project. Take a read through the project description and timeline to see if this project is a good fit for you!
Community calendar
You may have noticed that we have taken a step back from producing dance workshops and classes. The collective has decided to turn our attention to supporting the creation and presentation of dance and movement-based performance. That being said, we would love to support the folks who are holding classes in the community in Northern Ontario.
We are going to test out establishing a Community Calendar listing drop-in or registered, dance or movement classes or workshops for adults in Sudbury and the surrounding area.
If you are a dance or movement teacher with a class or workshop coming up, please complete the form linked here to have your workshop included on the calendar.
*PLEASE NOTE: the calendar will be updated 1-2 times a month.
We are also happy to post about your class or workshop on social to spread the word! If you would like your classes promoted, please send a short summary of information about your class(es)/workshop(s) with 1-2 images, or a 15-second video to Lauren at lauren@madeformovers.com
*PLEASE NOTE: For classes that occur weekly or ongoingly, we are happy to promote your classes on our social media once per month. You must send one email per promotional post to ensure the information is accurate.
