Rossland Emerging Artist Residency Workshop Series
No experience required! Free to participate!
Each artist in the 2025 Rossland Emerging Artist Residency will teach one FREE workshop for the community during the residency. It’s both a chance for us to connect with the community that helps make this program happen and a chance for these artists to build their teaching practice. Each artist brings a breadth of unique creative experience that we’re excited to share with you!
Workshops will run between August 7-9 - check out each workshop description for date, time, and location details.
Workshops are open to ages 14+*.
*The dance workshop is open to all ages, with a parent/guardian in attendance for those 12 and under.

Inspired by Inès's solo work, this workshop invites participants of all ages to explore the personal stories that shape who they are. Rooted in an intergenerational approach, participants will explore the connections between movement, memory, language, and emotion, using the body as a vessel for storytelling. Participants will be supported in accessing their own creative voice, regardless of age or dance experience, through guided tasks, somatic exercises, and improvisation. This workshop is open to everyone, with or without prior experience in dance.
Please wear clothing you can move in.
We ask that participants under age 12 attend with a parent or guardian.
Saturday, August 9 | 2:00-3:30pm
