Join Crimson Coast Dance for OUR HYBRID FUTURE — a symposium that explores the impact and opportunity of digital technologies on the performing arts.
Over three weeks in September, this Symposium will bring together artists, presenters, Nanaimo to Toronto, the U.K and Switzerland, to explore, experience and engage with new digital technologies being used in the performing arts.

We invite participants to attend from our local and BC-based community as well as those from organizations of all sizes, regionally, nationally and internationally.
