Emerging Artist Project
We are excited to launch this new pilot project in our 2024/25 season!
SURGE is a new development and creative incubation program for the next generation of local dance artists. The program will support a new creation process for emerging dance artists.
Guest choreographer Emma Kerson, and Mocean Co-Artistic Director Sara Coffin, will each explore and develop new, short dance works with a small group of early career dance artists over 3-weeks of rehearsals. The project also includes dance training and career mentorship opportunities, and is intended to help early career artists develop their skills as nuanced performers and dance interpreters, while building support networks between emerging artists.
The program will culminate in an informal sharing at the Halifax Central Library as part of Mocean’s Spring Blooms | The Dance of Life presentation.
