About MO
La mission de Modus Operandi (MO) est de nourrir des voix émergentes uniques en danse à travers un programme pratique qui est constamment en train de se renouveler et qui accueille toutes les façons possibles de danser. MO cherche à rester agile et réactif à l'évolution de l'écologie de la danse et d’encourager une relation à la danse responsabilisée, durable et unique. Nos diplômés sont reconnus comme certains des nouveaux artistes les plus radicaux et les plus inspirants du Canada. Ils sont producteurs, créateurs et interprètes dans une vaste gamme de formats, d'environnements et d'organisations.

Le programme LINK
Applications are open for Link Term 2 (January 2025 – May 2025)
MO Link provides 9 hours per week of contemporary dance development with MO educators for serious dancers ages 15-45. It provides a wide range of contemporary repertoire and dance techniques including release technique, floor work, partnering, hip hop, improvisation, and movement generation led by MO guest artists and leading professionals.
MO Link is focused on nurturing new skills and broadening experience for dancers looking to expand their understanding of contemporary dance, preparing to join post-secondary programs, looking to learn more about the MO full program and/or looking to expand their toolkit and augment their existing training regimen. Link also provides Q&As with guest artists, access to the studio to work on their own projects or practice, artistic writing development and dance directory packages, invitations to the MO Full-Program showings & open houses, and monthly Show Clubs where participants receive a recorded, full-length professional contemporary dance performance and meet once a month on Zoom for a facilitated post-show discussion.
MO Link is by invitation or application to ensure that participants have a level of strength and focus to thrive in the demands of the class material.
*If you have already attended a recent MO or OIS workshop you may not need to apply. Contact modusoperandi@outinnerspace.ca to inquire.
