WHO ARE WE?
For 40 years, Montréal Danse has served as a platform for choreographic development, supporting artists as they evolve in their practice. We co-produce works, support choreographers, and create the conditions necessary for contemporary dance to explore new directions, grow, and flourish.
At the heart of our mission is Dance Against Violence (DCV), a program that celebrated its 15th anniversary this year. Since 2010, DCV has been offering movement workshops to women, children, and people made vulnerable by situations of violence—in partnership with shelters and community organizations. In 15 years: more than 4,100 participants supported, 750 workshops, 21 partner organizations, and a recent expansion to Quebec City.
We are entering a pivotal period: a transition in artistic leadership, the launch of a fundraising campaign in 2027, and the continued development of DCV. We are looking for people who are ready to get involved at this time.
