		It is co-produced by the Canada Dance Festival Society and the National Arts Centre in association with the National Gallery of Canada.
		Dance in Canada has evolved to be truly an indigenous expression of time and circumstances -- economic, regional, cultural; influenced by literature, theatre, architecture and design.

		Savoie and Hall first created this work three years ago at the Canada Dance Festival in Ottawa, and since then, they have polished the show until it glistens with a professional sheen that will stand them in good stead when they represent Canada at the cultural festival at the World's Fair in Lisbon.

		Vancouver's small dance circle was expanded July 11th by the innovative and eclectic dance works presented at the closing night for the DANCING ON THE EDGE festival.

		Finally, Brown placed Mongrain on a square, miked floor in the center of the stage, and the dance began: a citational riff on tap and the tricky exchange between performer and crowd.
		When Brown finally broke stride, whether to rock across the stage in an unexpected worm borrowed from break-dance or to strap on in-line skates for a final silent glide as the lights faded, it was as if this starman had returned to earth--and the effect was of exquisite surprise.
		Since its inception in 1987 and under the care of longtime producer Cathy Levy, this festival is beloved as the national party for dance insiders and everyday fans.

		In Canada, where we are privileged to enjoy exposure to an extraordinarily varied range of dance forms and traditions – from ballet to butoh to bharatanatyam – this universal quality of dance is evident all around us.

	Environmental Scan of Contemporary Dance Presentation in Canada
		In addition to self-presentation, contemporary dance presentation is shared between a few specialized presenters who may or may not have their own performance space, multidisciplinary presenters with varying degrees of commitment to the discipline, and specialized and multidisciplinary national and international festivals.
		Festivals that program contemporary dance play an important role in presentation, not only because they offer audiences direct access to dance, but also because they tend to provide points of contact and exchange between creation/production companies and other presenters.
		Although multidisciplinary festivals are tending to introduce more contemporary dance into their programming, one can question their real capacity to offset the lack of an international showcase devoted specifically to disciplinary development of contemporary dance.
