Dances for a Small Stage returns to the PuSh Festival 2025
creating small stages for everyone everyday and anywhere
Small Stage has been fearless in exploring gaps, honing skills, carving out space and cracking open opportunities for the future of dance in Canada.
Our history of supporting independent, self-employed and under-represented dance artists from equity-deserving communities goes back two decades.
We persistently present work that explores a wide mosaic of Canadian Dance identity by bringing together dance artists from different cultural traditions and identities, who combine established styles as well as contemporary influences.
Small Stage produces innovative and accessible performances in non-traditional spaces that support the next generation of artists including dancers, musicians, technologists and practitioners.
We blend live and digital strategies to create powerful experiences designed to reduce barriers in order to reach as wide an audience as possible.
