Welcome back to The Dance Centre Podcast. This month Claire takes on a double role as both host and Artist-in-Residence, and chats with Jeanette Kotowich, Simran Sachar, Virginia Duivenvoorden and Vanessa Goodman – the dance artists who make up re:group, an initiative she conceived for her residency this past season.

Join them as they discuss creating and participating in dance communities, how their difference perspectives help them engage with each other and ask questions, honoring the ways in which we connect through movement and how how everything always comes back to dance.
