Studio 303, Mile Zero Dance (MZD) and Plastic Orchid Factory (POF) are coming together for RELAY—a joint initiative that nurtures artistic creation, fosters local dialogue and exchange, and expands touring opportunities across Canada. RELAY mirrors the natural flow of an artistic process—researching, creating, and producing—each phase unfolding in a different city at a distinct moment.
Three propositions have been selected (one per city) through a call for submission. Each selected artist received a budget ($7,500/proposition) to cover the artistic fees and travelling costs. The transitions between the phases (see section Timeline) remain intentionally porous, allowing space for ideas to shift and evolve organically. RELAY is made possible with the support of the CanDance Network’s Creative Exchange Project program.
