or 12 years, the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival has been a life force in the city’s arts
community representing contemporary dance so faithfully that it draws people from all around.
According to Catrina von Radecki, a co-founder and general manager of the festival, the larger
goal of the festival is to put the city of Guelph on the artistic map showcasing, not only the dance
talent found within its limits, but also all that makes Guelph unique.
“The Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival enthralls, inspires, impassions and educates,” said
von Radecki. “It is recognized both locally and nationally, staging accomplished dance artists
from across Canada…We offer opportunities for people to understand what contemporary
dance is and how such a unique form of artistic expression can convey messages about the
world we live in.”
Von Radecki explained that something that distinguishes Guelph’s contemporary dance festival
from others is that it is able to showcase this particular style of dance in a variety of different
forms and venues as well as provide opportunities for dancers and choreographers to share
their passion at differing stages in their professional development.
Ultimately, organizers of the festival agree that there is an intimate connection between the
artistic community, more specifically that of the dance world, and the community
of Guelph in a larger sense.
“On a personal level, the Guelph
Contemporary Dance Festival has allowed
me to better understand how the arts can be
a driving force behind unifying a community,”
said von Radecki. “It has provided me with
an opportunity to share, grow and become
part of the a city that I have grown to love.”
“Guelph is a city of festivals,” said festival
publicist Lynn Broughton. “The Guelph
Contemporary Dance Festival represents
what Guelph offers through the whole year.”
