“A model for some, a catalyst for others, the Brian Webb Dance Company is undoubtedly a major community player that extends beyond dance into other realms such as visual arts, experimental theatre and interdisciplinary art. Creator, presenter, facilitator, its artistic director contributes enormously to the development of dance.” - THE CANADA COUNCIL FOR THE ARTS

The Brian Webb Dance Company (BWDC) is honoured and thankful to practice our art and live on the ancient lands of diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and all First Peoples of Canada. We are committed to being respectful and good neighbours. To be able to dance here, at this ancient meeting place now known as Edmonton, fills us with joy.
