The Atlanta Contemporary and Dance Canvas have partnered to provide time and space to dance artists in metro-Atlanta. A goal of the initiative is to support and amplify diverse voices.

The residency for the choreographers and dancers allows them enough space to perform and practice within safety guidelines.  In order to accommodate the safety of the artists, solos and duets have been created in order to adhere to social distancing regulations.

“City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Atlanta Contemporary executive director Veronica Kessenich and Dance Canvas executive artistic director Angela Harris.
