This opening session explores accessibility and inclusion in professional dance. Participants will hear the perspectives of several interdisciplinary dance artists, artistic directors, and producers from across Canada. These invited artists and practitioners will consider what accessibility means in their scope of practice and how inclusive approaches are embedded in their work.

This two hour Zoom event will feature:
- short presentations by Naomi Brand, Kass Prus and Karla Etienne
- a moderated panel discussion facilitated by Raven Davis, and
- time for questions from those participating.

Dance Nova Scotia is excited to host these amazing artists and learn from their perspectives and experiences.

Interpreting services will be provided, and more details will be available soon.
