Moving Ideas explores the many ways dance can intersect with other disciplines and communities. Ballet BC uses movement as a bridge to spark new conversations, inspire collaboration, and invite audiences to learn about and experience dance in fresh ways. These programs encourage experimentation, exchange, and dialogue—building connections, generating ideas, and expanding the reach of dance beyond the stage.

Current Initiatives

• Artist talks and post-show discussions during our season programs at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre provide insight into the creative process and the vision and experience of Ballet BC’s choreographers, dancers, and other collaborators.
• Interdisciplinary workshops and research with partners across architecture, corporate, and academic fields.
• Research projects on the intersection of dance and other fields such as mental health.
• Team-building and wellness-focused movement experiences for organizations and corporations at Ballet BC’s Granville Island studios that draw on somatic and creative practices to introduce dance to a broader audience.
