Canadian Presence on the International Stage

The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) Conference & Festival performances offers an opportunity for us to enjoy the countries, artists and choreographers performing at a national and international level. There are 4 international performances planned that highlight not only the Canadian talent but the international performers that embodied the conference theme “Connecting Our Diasporas Through Dance”. The conference is about providing experiences that will broaden, deepen and develop artistic perspectives for all involved. We too have a presence on the interna¬ tional stage. Garfield Lemonius (Dallas Black Dance Theatre), Kristen Foote (Jose Limon Company), Kevin A. Ormsby (Garth Fagan Dance), Sean Cheesman, Tanisha Scott, Ingrid Abbott (Tavaziva / Lion King) and others have all had successful international dance careers. Basking in the glow of that presence is Rachel McLaren who will represent Alvin Ailey for the conference & festival. See the profile of one such dancer here.
Here is a list of some of the world class companies performing at the conference:
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre (New York), Ballet Creole (Toronto), Germaul Barnes (New York), Compagnie Danse NYATA NYATA (Montreal) Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Company (Denver), State Of Emergency Productions (UK), Danza Corpus (Cuba),Dallas Black Dance Theatre (Dallas), KasheDance (Toronto), Ghislaine Dote (Montreal), Jasmyn Fyffe Dance (Toronto), PHILADANCO (Philadelphia), Zelma Badu Agazunu (Canada/USA), Lula Washington Dance Theatre (Los Angeles), Michele Moss (Calgary), Muntu Dance Theatre of Chicago (Chicago), Robert Solomon (Germany), NAfro Dance Productions (Winnipeg), bwsene Inmotion Australia (Australia), National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica (Jamaica), Shawn Byfield (Toronto), UNLV (Las Vegas)
