Skills that get you commissioned

• Writing grant applications

  An unglamorous skill that decides which Canadian choreographers get to make work.

• Working on camera

  Choreography for screen is framed and cut differently than for a stage. Screen work pays better.

• Movement direction for theatre

  Plays and operas hire movement directors even when nobody dances.

• Notation or clear filming of your work

  Pieces that can be restaged accurately keep earning royalties for years.
