This event seeks to open up a meaningful dialogue around spaces specifically dedicated to dance in Toronto. As essential places for artists to rehearse, train, create new works and gather to forge relationships in the community, these spaces have become an important topic particularly given the recent loss of multiple dance venues within the local ecology.

Bringing together a range of perspectives from those who are stewards of dance spaces as well as artists who have been directly affected by the current realities of the Toronto dance scene, this discussion will offer artists and spaces the opportunity for to speak to their individual contexts, share how they navigate challenges and consider moving together towards the future sustainability of local spaces remaining a valuable resource the community and for future generations of dance artists.

We will be opening up the discussion to hear from community members in attendance for questions, thoughts, comments, experiences, etc.
