In this time Steph thoughtfully supported the company over a diversity of projects, deftly juggled dozens of different projects, and quickly became an intrinsic part of the team. As she now steps away from Aeriosa to pursue new opportunities, we share our deep appreciation and thanks for her exceptional work and wish her all the best on her future endeavors. New partnership with New Works We’re excited to share that Aeriosa has begun a new collaborative relationship with New Works, who will support the company with administration and management needs throughout the season. For the last 30+ years New Works has been an intrinsic part of Vancouver’s professional dance landscape, and offered management support to many different dance artists and small artist-led organizations. After multiple collaborations over the past 20 years including helping Aeriosa to become a non-profit society in 2005 and coproducing a large-scale work for the 2010 Cultural Olympiad, we are thrilled to be joining New Works’ current roster of partnerships and look forward to an exciting season together.
