The Dusk Dances Board of Directors, based in Toronto, is a fiduciary and advisory body. The Board approves developments in the growth of the Dusk Dances concept, as well as provides the checks and balances for the financial operations of the organization. We have made great efforts to diversify our revenue as Dusk Dances continues to grow, and since 2012, the Board has taken a lead role in developing new fundraising strategies.

Currently, the work of the Board is supported by three committees: Board recruitment committee, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion committee and Fundraising committee.

One of Canada’s longest running outdoor dance series, Dusk Dances, is currently seeking a dedicated individual as Chair for our Board of Directors.

Dusk Dances is an outdoor dance festival that has brought dance to public parks since 1993. As dusk descends, a theatrical host leads the audience to an array of unique dance pieces that unfold in different areas of the park. Creating and facilitating a relationship between dance and communities, and building access to dance as an art form, has always been at the heart of all Dusk Dances activities. Throughout its 30 years history, Dusk Dances has made dance available to new audiences in economically, socially, and culturally diverse communities through programming that features emerging and established artists from various communities of dance practices.

In 2024, Sofi Gudiño was appointed Festival Director, alongside General Manager, Shivani Joshi. The new leadership team is approaching this beloved community favourite with an appreciation for the festival’s longstanding history, and a bright outlook towards future possibilities.
