Hosting and Sponsoring Organizations
Rumble Productions is a Vancouver-based interdisciplinary theatre company whose event-styled programming, productions and community outreach encourage risk, promote collaboration, and stimulate experimentation with theatrical form and other media.
The Dance Centre is a not for profit organization created in 1985 to coordinate the resources and activities of a wide-ranging artistic community. It facilitates professional development and provides administrative, advocacy, presentation and facility related services. www.vkool.com/dance centre
Bravo!FACT (Foundation to assist Canadian Talent) has awarded over $2 million dollars during the past three years to filmmakers and artists. These grants have led to the evolution of a new art form: short films and videos resulting from the collaborative work of artists (poets, dancers, sculptors, actors, etc.) and filmmakers. Bravo!FACT was established by Bravo!NewStlyeArtsChannel. www.bravo.ca/bravofact/
Since its creation in 1973, the Vancouver East Cultural Centre has played a major part in the cultural development of Vancouver, throughout BC, and across Canada through the presentation, by established and emerging artists, of innovative and exciting performing arts programmes. www.vecc.bc.ca
