Welcome to Dalhousie’s Fountain School of Performing Arts!  We have just completed our sixth year as a performing arts school and there is no better time or place to study and to grow creatively. The thoughtful and generous endowment of the Fountain family that founded our school demonstrates their belief in the value of performing arts; all of us who work and learn here feel validated and inspired by their vision of a performing arts school that brings art to life at Dalhousie, in Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and beyond.

Through the performing arts, we gain insight and empathy for people like us and for people not like us. Through performing, we learn that we do truly contain multitudes, and we learn to inhabit different souls and different points of view, broadening our horizons and our outlook on the world. The arts are a way for us to express ideas and emotions that are too difficult to put into words alone.​

As colonisers, acknowledging our privilege is the first step
