Books – Capturing and Sharing Canada’s Dance Narrative
TDCD has published 41 books dedicated to Canadian dance and its history, with book #42 in the works. Ranging from biographies, to reference books, to essay collections, to narratives that shine a light on specific regions, genres, or companies – our catalogue is as diverse and inspiring as the country in which these stories originate. Without DCD, this important recording process of an ephemeral art form would not happen.
“Books will outlive us all.”
~ Miriam Adams, C.M., DCD Co-founder/Advisor
Dance Collection Danse Magazine
Since its beginnings as a newsletter in the mid-1980s, DCD Magazine has been celebrating Canadian dance history unlike any other publication. With subscribers across Canada, the U.S.A., and overseas, the magazine has been delving into the people, events, companies, communities, and myriad other topics that frame the nation’s dance history. Currently published annually, the magazine is free to donors and only $10 for anyone who wishes a copy. All back issues are available to our e-blast subscribers as a free digital download – meaning the back catalogue has become a vital research source for scholars, students, authors, and historians.

Coming Soon!
Our next book is by Allen Kaeja, author, choreographer, filmmaker, and co-artistic director of Kaeja d’Dance. Entitled I Found My Dance in a Bomb Shelter: Anecdotes of Gratitude From a Life in Dance, it is a collection of deeply personal remembrances, spanning one of the most exciting and dynamic periods in contemporary Canadian dance history. Kaeja’s rich and engaging prose will transport you into the heart of an incredible life. We are delighted to be partnering with Kaeja d’Dance in publishing this remarkable book and cannot wait to share it with you.
