Suddenly Dance Theatre

The purposes of the Society are: To educate and provide opportunities for dancers and choreographers to improve in their craft; and, To educate and increase the public's understanding and appreciation of dance by providing performances of an artistic nature in public places.

Suddenly Dance Theatre supports the development, creation, presentation, and preservation of the dance arts through collaboration and diverse media to reach the widest possible audience.

Our 28 year-old company has become an established, identifiable part of the City of Victoria’s cultural community, as both an Importer (presenter) of dance and as an Exporter (creator) of dance. Our touring activity of original LIVE works and production of dance films has allowed us to be proud ambassadors - through national television (OPIUM, AISLING & GUTHRIE SWIMS THE LAKE); Film Festivals (New York to New Delhi); residencies (Ireland, South Korea); as well as works toured to such diverse places as Seoul, Kim Hae, Busan, Daegu (South Korea), Hornby Island, Vancouver, Nanaimo (BC) and Guelph (Ont).

We are also known as the producers and the curators of the annual Romp! Festival of Independent Dance (20 Festivals)
