Art that moves a community is made by a community that moves.

Independent dance doesn't have a straightforward path. It lives between grants, touring seasons, what institutions can support and what artists need to create. In Nova Scotia, that gap is widening.

ZIMMERDANS is an independent contemporary dance company in K'jipuktuk/Halifax. By supporting ZIMMERDANS, you're not just supporting one company – you're helping keep the conditions alive for ambitious, local, artist-led work to exist.

Arts funding in Nova Scotia is shrinking. Independent artists are absorbing the gap. A monthly contribution – however small – creates the stability that grants alone can't.
