Publications
Dance Central
Dance Central has been in existence almost as long as The Dance Centre itself! From its beginnings as a newsletter for our membership of dance professionals, it has now developed into a bimonthly in-depth examination of contemporary currents in dancemaking, edited by Andreas Kahre. The current edition includes conversations with Indian classical dance exponent Jai Govinda and choreographer/performer Amber Funk Barton, and an examination of CO:LAB, The Dance Centre's collaboration with the Canadian Music Centre last fall.
