The Maine Dancemakers Collaborative hosts the inaugural Maine Mini Fest in Portland on Friday, January 12th through Sunday the 14th. This weekend gathering will have dedicated time for Maine’s dance and performance community to network, attend workshops, get further training, see works in progress live, and attend a resource fair for dance makers.

Mini Fest is a project of the Maine Dancemakers Collaborative, a new connective resource for Maine’s dance community. 

SPACE will also host:

• A free morning workshop on “Embodying Transformation: Movement Artists and Restorative Justice Practices” on Sunday, January 14th at 2 pm.
• A Dance Resources workshop on Sunday, January 14th from 2-4 pm.
• Scott McPheeters and collaborators’ dance on film piece BLAZE in the 534 Gallery window projected after dark from January 2nd through the 27th.

Maine Mini Fest is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support for Mini Fest comes from National Arts Strategies through the New England Creative Community Fellows program, and from the Onion Foundation.
