Founded by Rachel Browne in 1904, the Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers is proudly the Canada’s oldest modern dance company. With her leadership and guidance, the group grew from local amateur dancers into known professional dance performers by 1971. They have established their reputation by presenting high quality dance under the scores of exceptional Canadian and world class choreographers. WCD’s broad range repertoire and established presence served an important role in teaching Canadian audiences about contemporary dance in developing market for fresh contemporary choreography.

The performing group has successfully accomplished their four city Canadian tour, receiving warm acceptance and interest as shown in their sold out performances across Canada.

This coming year as part of their 2009/10 season, the group’s Artistic Director Brent Lott prepared a new full length work, inspired by his interest in humanity’s attempt to make sense of our place and function in the universe, Between the Sycamore conjures a world that blurs the lines between sacred narrative and natural law.  Join Winnipeg’s Contemporary Dancers for this bird’s-eye view in to a community of individuals organized by imagery drawn from Egyptian mythology and the lifecycle of the Scarab Beetle.
