| ABOUT US |
| 10 Gates Dancing Inc. was formed in 1998 to promote the development and performance of contemporary dance creations. Through the teaching, creation and performance of these works, 10 Gates provides entry points for the education of the public to contemporary and theatrical dance. Since its inception, the company has created an exceptional body of work for some of the most renowned dance artists and companies in Canada and has held a unique role in the field of dance through its mentorship activities with choreographers in Canada and abroad. The company is based in Ottawa, Canada and works on national and international stages. The company is funded by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa. One wing of 10 Gates Dancing Inc. is consistently devoted to the Nurturing and Mentorship of young choreographers and dancers. This is realized through the involvement with the Le Groupe Dance Lab, teaching technique classes throughout Canada and during international Lab experiences and through choreographic works with students in professional schools such as LADMMI, the School of the Toronto Dance Theatre and the Professional Program of Contemporary Dancers in Winnipeg. Giving young pre-professional dancers the experience of a creative process, through rehearsals and the performance of a work is the most direct form of passing on knowledge about the art form to the new generation. In 2008, 10 Gates Dancing began programming a summer series at La B.A.R.N. to showcase new works by Tedd Robinson in an intimate environment; works that have been created in and inspired by this enchanting space. We have also expanded our mentoring and learning opportunities for dancers through our annual "Exclusive Intensive" residency programs, which include informal showings open to the public. |
