Social Art Training

iPhoto: Antoine Saito

Resulting from a partnership between the National Centre for Dance Therapy and Cirque du Soleil, this training is based on the Cirque du Monde™ training program and has been adapted to include techniques from dance therapy, adapted dance et other art forms, to foster a more global vision of arts interventions.

The training in social circus and adapted dance is designed for:

All artists who wish to use their art for social interventions
Social workers wishing to develop their artistic practice to offer adapted services with vulnerable populations
Professionals from other fields who want to discover different approaches to arts interventions.

In 2020, the training will be structured as follows:

Perspectives on Social Art, an evening to better understand what social art is and learn about the training (January 23)
The three-day Social Art Training (March 27 - 29)
A series of workshops, each focusing on a specific theme (information will follow)

Thank you to all our participants in the 2020 edition!

Perspectives on Social Art

The National Centre for Dance Therapy and the Cirque du Soleil will co-host a panel, during which they will present their training program and will introduce the guests to the concept of social art. During the evening, the participants will have the chance to learn more about the activities of various institutions in Montréal which use arts as part of their social intervention activities: four panelists will exchange on the best practices in the field. Later in the evening, more details about the social art training will be shared.
