À propos

Simcoe Contemporary Dancers (SCD) is hosting a two-hour dance and art workshop called Discover, Draw, Dance. This workshop is centred on creating a positive and accessible dance and creation experience.

Discover, Draw, Dance is open to all ages, levels and abilities and will consist of:

- a 30-minute visual art experience where participants will create there own unique artwork inspired by the "Seeds to Sow" art exhibition at the Lion's Pavilion.

- a movement warm-up where we will prime our bodies to dance.

- Using the participants artwork and the Seeds to Sow artwork at Lion's Pavilion, SCD will lead participants in a movement creation experience where we will create our own movement that will then be incorporated into a unique choreography!

This workshop is open to everyone of all ages and abilities and it is perfect for families to participate in together! During the movement components of this workshop, our focus will be on exploring elements of dance such as space, time, energy, weight and dynamics and learning movement skills through imagination and art, all with the goal of developing each participant's expressiveness through movement!

This activity is funded by the City of Barrie for Culture Days 2024.

Simcoe Contemporary Dancers

Simcoe Contemporary Dancers is a not-for-profit professional dance company serving the region of Simcoe County that exists to encourage and showcase the development of local professional contemporary dance.

We come together to raise the visibility of contemporary dance, create awareness, build educational opportunities, and reach out to our public to share our love of our art form.

As residents of our community, we are invested in growing and developing local talent and local opportunities for professional development. Our goal is to raise visibility and participation in contemporary dance by creating and performing contemporary dance works; providing workshops/classes at an intermediate to advanced level of training, and providing public access to dance through performances/community involvement.

We value and encourage inter-disciplinary partnerships with individual artists and other local arts organizations.

The nature of our artists and activities provides a safe, positive, neutral environment for people to come together to take part in a shared experience. We facilitate opportunities to converge and collaborate as a community in a non-competitive atmosphere – providing a platform to be expressive, creatively engaged, and challenged.

The local focus of our organization allows members of the community to enjoy a professional level of dance in their backyard. Our events bring the community together to a shared experience of movement, which transcends language, as we animate spaces with choreographies that tell our stories and experiences.

We are ambassadors for our art form within our community and ambassadors for our community within our art form.
