Advocacy

Through greater visibility and stronger engagement with the public, our goal is to raise the voice of dance and obtain better support from the decision makers.    

CDA works collaboratively with the Performing Arts Alliance, the Canadian Arts Coalition, the Canadian Conference of the Arts, and other community partners, to achieve shared advocacy goals. 

CDA’s advocacy work is supported by an Advocacy Committee of member representatives from across the country. Committee members gather perspectives from the wider membership on the many and varied issues facing dance, supporting a democratic process for CDA in considering its strategies and positioning around the various issues it addresses.  Committee members also act as advocacy champions within their respective regions, mobilizing their colleagues around important issues the CDA engages in. The committee is committed to representing and reflecting diversity as manifested in the various practices of dance and within society.
