Next week, our friends over at Neighbourhood Dance Works will be holding serveral events for the Festival of New Dance at the ATC! 💃 See a little bit of FND’s original post below for more info:

✨ Meet the Artist: Amy Bowring ✨

Dance writer, historian and fibre artist Amy Bowring joins FND 2026 to help participants explore the many ways dance can be experienced, interpreted and transformed through fibre- and textile-based practices. Amy is Executive & Curatorial Director of Dance Collection Danse and a Lecturer at Toronto Metropolitan University. She has published numerous articles and book chapters on dance history and curated several exhibitions. She is also the author of Navigating Home: Artists of the NL Dance Project. Her research focuses on theatrical dance in Canada in the early to mid-20th century, as well as the dance history of St. John’s. She also experiments with using fibres and textiles to respond to performance.

Here’s where you can meet and work with Amy during the Festival:
