Description:

Leadership, Empowerment, Action, Dance

LEAD—Leadership, Empowerment, Action, Dance—is a free workshop led by professional artists and community mentors that engages participants aged 16-25, who identify as women and nonbinary+ to take on leadership roles in their community.

LEAD Toronto Regional Workshop uses dance as a foundation from which to explore and invest in the unique leadership potential of each participant. Over the free 1-day regional workshop local participants will take part in movement classes across a range of styles, facilitated discussions, and peer networking.

NBS, LEAD and its partners acknowledge the historical and contemporary failings of our art form including persistent, systemic inequities. We commit to honouring and celebrating the unique, intersectional identities of each of our contributors and participants while striving towards a culture of humility, integrity, and respect. We strongly encourage application from individuals whose identities have been marginalized within leadership structures including those who identify as LGBTQ2S+, Black, Indigenous and/or people of colour. Our application process intentionally embraces those traditionally excluded from leadership roles in the arts, highlighting the importance of specialized spaces that empower young individuals to explore and nurture their creative potential.

Through this workshop, participants will:

• Participate in movement classes led by professional artists who represent diverse styles and practices
• Collaborate and communicate with peers
• Learn how community arts initiatives can be a catalyst for positive change in their community
• Further develop their leadership, communication, and social and emotional skills
• Learn about available online tools and supports
