Contact Dance International Film Festival

REAson d’etre dance productions produces the Contact Dance International Film Festival, which runs every two years and showcases films based on CONTACT IMPROVISATION and affiliated forms. The next Contact Dance International Film Festival is occurring June 4 to 13, 2021 with an online platform. REAson d’etre dance productions is a Canadian charitable dance company that believes in inspiring people through contact improvisation and dance/theatre. We create, produce and program dance works on stage and in film. We explore current themes in a manner that enables the public to benefit from the enlivening and thought-provoking powers of expression through movement. We tell inter-generational stories that represent the lives of people. We strive for a high level of community engagement through classes jams and all-level performance opportunities. We believe that every “body” can dance, and we work to increase the accessibility of the dance arts. Alongside producing professional work, we encourage and support the everyday person in becoming artists.
