WHO IS MO

MO alumni are innovative, skilled, and ethical contributors. They are a new wave of initiators creating dance, events, dialogues, and meeting grounds and are considered some of Canada’s most radical thinkers and movers.

Each year, over 40 national and international dance professionals lead MO. Their relevant experiences and current activity become the grounds for our practice-led curriculum. For many, MO serves as a creative resource and relationship builder for their own endeavours. When the professional community has not only a stake in the next generation but a critical role in educating them, it fortifies connections between generations of practitioners for years to come and makes way for young artists to evolve the form.
