MO is sharing two works-in progress that are a part of its 2024 post-secondary curriculum. These works are in research and along with additional creations, repertoire and research labs, are part of the students’ creative development this season.
Modus Operandi (MO) was founded in 2007 and offers pivotal post-secondary contemporary dance training. The mission of MO is to nurture unique emergent voices in dance by continuously investigating and investing in a practice-based curriculum that welcomes all the possible ways to dance. MO seeks to remain nimble and responsive to the evolving dance ecology, to provide meaningful facilitation of dancers’ relationship to the form so it is empowered, long-lasting and uniquely theirs. Alumni are celebrated as some of Canada’s most radical and inspired new artists producing, creating and performing in an enormous range of formats, environments and organizations.
