Sharing the Stage: Harbourfront Centre Outdoor Residency In August 2021, The National Ballet of Canada gave four outdoor performances to a socially distanced audience during Sharing the Stage, a residency at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre featuring the world premiere of Crepuscular by Vanesa G. R. Montoya, works-in-process from guest companies and an outdoor studio with open rehearsals, free dance classes and discussions. Thank you to our guest companies Esie Mensah Creations, Human Body Expression, Little Pear Garden Dance Company and Lua Shayenne Dance Company for their inspired participation in this event.
“Sharing the Stage gave us an opportunity to reconnect with each other, our dance colleagues, curious passersby and invested audiences. On a practical level, this residency allowed Lua Shayenne Dance Company to achieve some of its strategic goals of increasing local presentations that are accessible to multiple audiences to increase our visibility and engage new audiences.” – Lua Shayenne, Artistic Director, Lua Shayenne Dance Company
