Rebecca and I have been working on a mural for the Citadel + Compagnie in Toronto at the Ross Centre for Dance. Following is an overview of the project and approach.
Ultimately the mural will be produced on alupanels to be installed along the bottom of this wall in the alley of the Citadel building.
“Citadel + Compagnie is a dance organization with its home, The Citadel: Ross Centre for Dance, embedded within the Regent Park community of downtown Toronto. Through its creation, curation and cultivation of contemporary dance, Citadel + Compagnie’s mission is to make a significant and lasting contribution to dance in Canada.” (excerpt from https://www.citadelcie.com )
In addition to their primary mission as a dance organization, they provide classes to children in the community and they were invited to contribute to the mural by creating images of their community.
Their artwork was transformed to be the backdrop for some of the panels in the Joy of Dance sequences.
This project was funded by the City of Toronto for the Citadel. The final design was approved and printed on panels and we are waiting for wall preparation and installation.
