Canada dance mapping study : Étude cartographique de la danse au Canada : examen de la documentation

The purpose of this study is to review the current literature on dance to be followed by a report identifying the current gaps in the literature and a research plan addressing these for consideration by the CC and OAC. [...] Goals of the Study The purpose of the overall study is to map the presence of dance in Canada – including a better understanding of the full scope of dance activity in all regions of the country. [...] To these documents, the consultants added documents relevant to dance and technology, and consulted the website of the Society for Canadian Dance Studies (SCDS) for academic publications of interest to the study. [...] All of the provinces and Nunavut have commissioned studies to measure the economic and social impact of the arts and culture on the overall economy in their respective provinces. [...] The lack of growth in public funding to the professional dance sector effectively amounts to a funding decline as a result of the doubling in the number of companies funded and inflation.
