May 5 is Red Dress Day, in which we honour and raise awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit people (MMIWG2S).
Originating from Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project, the day uses empty red dresses to symbolize the violence against Indigenous women, who face disproportionately high rates of violence in Canada.#reddressday #reddressday2026

DANCE SASKATCHEWAN, INC. (DSI) IS INVITING YOU TO APPLY TO OUR DANCE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH REMAI MODERN.
Artists will be given the opportunity to work on their creative process and develop new work inspired by spaces in the Remai Modern. The developed work or a part of the project in development will be featured at Remai Modern’s WEGO on August 30th and 31st, a festival of music, dance, art and more! Artists will also get the opportunity to work with Remai Modern educational staff on movement development for youth programming. The aim of this program is to allow artists to develop their craft and work in an uninterrupted creative environment.
At Dance Saskatchewan, Inc. (DSI) we realize how difficult it is for artists to develop and work on their craft full-time. The DSI x Remai Modern Residency Program will allow emerging and established dance and teaching artists to make their craft and development a priority. This program will allow artists to be supported financially while working and creating during the month-long residency. While supporting artists in their professional development, the artists will be aided by DSI services, resources, and funding. Apply at the link in our bio.
REGINA — we’re keeping it local to Saskatchewan this month. Join us with two workshops of Ballroom History and Fashion Styling workshops followed by an open session (so bring something comfy). Sign up in the link in bio :)
