🚨 WORKSHOP ALERT 🚨

Join us for workshop led by Aly Keita of Kira Arts, with dance participation by Fodé Bamba Camara and live percussion accompaniment.

📅 Tuesday, June 16, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM
📍 Meridian Arts Centre – Rehearsal Hall

OPEN TO ALL, this open-level workshop will focus on the foundations of movement: grounding, posture, breathing, coordination, and the relationship between body and rhythm. Through guided exercises and movement explorations, participants will be invited to develop a deeper awareness of movement, breath, and musicality while discovering the richness of the physical dynamics found in Guinean dances.

The workshop will also explore the connection between voice, rhythm, and gesture, as well as the body’s ability to articulate different energies and layers of movement simultaneously.

Happy International Jazz Day! 🎷

We’re taking a moment to look back at our "Theo x Travis: Jazz is Dead" event from last June, co-presented by Luminato Festival, supported by TO Live.

Jazz is an ongoing conversation, a powerful force for expression, a catalyst for change, and a culture that continues to bring people together across the globe.

We’re incredibly grateful for how the art of jazz united these two phenomenal artists to create such a captivating performance. ✨
