ELIZABETH’S STORY

“I have been fortunate to receive support from the DTRC through the Skills Grant and the EVOLVE: Expansions Mentorship program. The Skills Grant allowed me to take driving lessons and successfully obtain my G2 and practice for my G license, which has opened up career possibilities for me. The mentorship program paired me with a fellow dance artist who is also a parent and has helped ease the transition into being both a new mom and dance artist.

I am so glad DTRC exists! The resources DTRC provides are invaluable and have really made a difference in my life and career. Knowing these supports are available to me is very reassuring and provides a kind of stability that is seldom found in a dance career.”

Territory Acknowledgment

We acknowledge the lands, waterways, languages, and Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island – First Nations, Inuit and Métis – who have been living on these lands since time immemorial. As we carry out our work, digitally and in person across many distinct territories, we offer our recognition and respect to all the peoples and places that are connected through our engagement together. We, at the Dancer Transition Resource Centre, commit to the ongoing work and learning required of all of us to address past and persistent harms. We continue to deepen our understanding and we welcome dialogue as we strive to move into better relations with Indigenous peoples and with the land.
