Warm greetings!
Creative Momentum facilitates cross-disability dance and community projects. We are visiting in lək̓ʷəŋən homelands, and collaborate with colleagues across Turtle Island.
Currently we are focused online on sharing skills, peer mentoring, and co-creating dance films that weave in multiple layers of access.
For 2024-2025, we are interested in connecting with new collaborators, and sharing our facilitation practice.
We will be co-organizing the next Collective Access Screendance Residency. We will also be offering online training on facilitating peer-based dance groups, and on facilitating Move to Music with older adults. Please be in touch if you are interested in any of these projects.
Over the past decade we have been honoured to facilitate dance improvisation with 100 communities and groups, with people ages 4 to 103. For examples of where we have worked see the organizations page.
A few photos from previous projects:

Image description: Nine open-hearted movements are creatively described here using imaginary objects, as if the group was by the ocean. Shaylyn shapes a sand sculpture. Julianna admires whales in the distance. Heath holds up a small octopus. Lea’s elbow points up like a fin. Janice floats on her back over a big wave. Zola hugs a surfboard. Andrea swims while signing ‘I love you’, which involves straightening a pinkie, index finger and thumb while bending the other two fingers with palm forwards. Lyrica is bringing a driftwood log to you. The sign language interpreter blocks the midday sun from her face.
