The company’s works are disseminated in Canada and abroad. \nOne of the few companies situated outside the major urban centers\, Sursaut ensures the presence of professional dance in its region and participates in the decentralization of arts and culture. Sherbrooke is a mid-sized city located in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec. The city is a regional hub and university center\, with an urban population of 212\,000 inhabitants.

SUMMARY:ECF Funding: Community Grant Program
DESCRIPTION:The right funding opportunity is waiting for you with ECF’s Community Grant Program — all you have to do is apply. \nAS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION\, you have specific funding needs. We support charities in the Edmonton area across many sectors\, including: \n\nHuman Services\nArts & Culture\nEducation\nEnvironment & Animal Welfare\nHealth\nSports & Recreation\n\nThe Community Grants program can support a wide range of organizational needs. We look to organizations to determine their priority areas. If you would like to discuss your organizational needs\, start with a phone call to the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) to discuss the online application process and eligibility requirements. \nEligibility\nCommunity Grants aim to support our community. A non-profit is eligible to apply if it serves the greater Edmonton area\, including Leduc County\, Parkland County\, Strathcona County\, and Sturgeon County. The non-profit must also have a charitable registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or be considered a qualified donee. \nIf you are not a registered charity but wish to apply for funding\, you can consider the following options: \n\nMake a formal application to CRA to become a registered charity.\nEstablish a written partnership with a registered charity that would apply for funds for the proposed project. CRA recommends that the relationship between the registered charity and the non-charitable organization be formalized and documented. Click here to visit CRA’s website for more details. Note that the opportunity to apply with a charitable partner is not meant to allow groups to circumvent CRA rules\, but rather to support genuine partnerships between charities and non-profits.\n\nApplying for a Community Grant\nIf you don’t have a recent relationship with us (successfully received a Community Grant in the last five years)\, your organization can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $50\,000. If you’ve worked with ECF recently (successful Community Grant approved\, completed and reported on)\, you can apply for a grant up to approximately (see note) $80\,000. \nNote: We will consider amounts slightly above these limits when there is a strong rationale. \nECF’s Two-Stage Process\nWe use a two-stage process that includes a preliminary online application\, followed by a full proposal\, if requested. This process is meant to assist applicants. For projects that are unlikely to receive funding for any reason\, it prevents the applicant organization from dedicating time and resources to a full proposal that will not be successful. It also allows our staff the chance to raise questions in the Request for Proposal letter\, helping to strengthen the final proposal\, which is reviewed by one of five sub-committees. \nPlease note: Attachments such as letters of support\, financial statements\, or testimonials are not required during the first stage. If we need more information\, we will contact the applicant. \nWhen to Submit\nWe encourage you to apply early! We have a continual intake of preliminary applications with quarterly deadlines depending on when funding is required. This allows us to review each on its own merit and respond promptly with questions and feedback. There are more opportunities to provide support for charities that apply early. This also gives you more time to write a strong proposal. We do not provide retroactive funding. \nThe annual deadlines to submit an online application are: \n\nMarch 1 for funding after June 1 (applications available December 2)\nJune 1 for funding  after September 1 (application available March 2)\nSeptember 1 for funding after December 1 (application available June 2)\nDecember 1 for funding  after March 1 (application available September 2)\n\nFor more information about Community Grants\, contact our staff at grants@ecfoundation.org or by phone at 780-426-0015. \nApply for a Community Grant\n\n\nGrant Application FAQ

SUMMARY:Thinking Body Fall 2020 Online Session #2
DESCRIPTION:Please see below for more information about these sessions from instructor Isabelle Rousseau. \nI am excited to announce the Fall Session for Thinking Body online classes. \nAs some of you know\, I’ve been developing a more personal approach to the practice of the Syntonics created by Judith Koltaï\, whose own teaching stems from Thérèse Bertherat\, Françoise Mézières\, Charlotte Selver and Elsa Gindler. \nIn this class\, you will be introduced to getting feedback from your own body and letting itself rebalance through the use of “test positions” sustained in slow\, anatomically optimal positions. This accessible practice is self-regulating on the nervous system and also readily available to all. We will also spend time studying the minutiae of posture and movement coordination\, and get familiar with ways to expand range of motion with sensory input as we become more intimate with our skeleton and its properties. \nThe class is injury-free and can be practiced by all as a “prequel” to any health and training protocol\, no matter where you are on your journey to a deeper relationship to your whole self. I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com

SUMMARY:2021 EAC Investment in Organizations (Sustain)
DESCRIPTION:In late October\, the Edmonton Arts Council published guidelines for two new investment streams – Sustain and Activate – programs that will direct a degree of stable and flexible funding for arts and festival organizations in 2021. The Sustain and Activate pillars are both related to investments in organizations in the short-and medium-term. Those processes are described in the document below\, including guidelines\, dates\, and requirements. \nA third stream – Invent & Adapt – will provide tools\, resources\, and potential investments to enable organizational structures\, governance and business models for the future. Guidelines for this stream are coming soon. \nThe EAC will make investments to sustain operations\, foster artistic and organizational resilience and facilitate dialogue to build organizational innovation and readiness for a gradual return to a wide range of artistic activities. \n2021 Sustain \nThe intent is to assist organizations with ongoing costs\, in particular related to engagement of artists and arts professionals. This baseline investment will help maintain organizational capacity through this irregular period. \nApplication Deadline: December 1\, 2020 \n>> Click here to download the Sustain guidelines.

SUMMARY:Thinking Body Fall 2020 Online Session #2
DESCRIPTION:Please see below for more information about these sessions from instructor Isabelle Rousseau. \nI am excited to announce the Fall Session for Thinking Body online classes. \nAs some of you know\, I’ve been developing a more personal approach to the practice of the Syntonics created by Judith Koltaï\, whose own teaching stems from Thérèse Bertherat\, Françoise Mézières\, Charlotte Selver and Elsa Gindler. \nIn this class\, you will be introduced to getting feedback from your own body and letting itself rebalance through the use of “test positions” sustained in slow\, anatomically optimal positions. This accessible practice is self-regulating on the nervous system and also readily available to all. We will also spend time studying the minutiae of posture and movement coordination\, and get familiar with ways to expand range of motion with sensory input as we become more intimate with our skeleton and its properties. \nThe class is injury-free and can be practiced by all as a “prequel” to any health and training protocol\, no matter where you are on your journey to a deeper relationship to your whole self. I look forward to working with you in class. \nClasses will run from November 3rd to December 8th 2020. Classes are twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 pm to 6 pm MT via Zoom. \nRegistration fees are $110 for 12 classes (recorded classes available if needed).  \nTo register\, please send a message to me at this address: irousseau.moveandbemoved@gmail.com
