In collaboration with The RUDE Collective . . .

JULY 14TH. JULY 14TH.

The Toronto Dance Community Love-In presents PS: We are All Here. A series of curated dance works from around the world and around the corner. In collaboration with CrystalWhispurr NIGHT SWIM, The LOVERS will be bringing you a double bill of official after parties over the course of two weekends.

We will be transforming our Parkdale favourite, Pia Bouman Scotiabank Studio Theatre into an all-embracing love-nest for performance, party and play.

About the Collectives:

The Toronto Dance Community Love-In is a grassroots, artist-run collective, committed to advocacy and providing the dance community with relevant and progressive modalities of training for contemporary dance artists. Activities are focused around building and supporting community to create a culture of support and generosity among working artists.

Funded by the generous support of: Toronto Arts Council and Ontario Arts Council

The Rude Collective:

Rude is an acronym for Real Unapologetic Diverse Expression.

We are an affirmative, positive response to mainstream gay culture. Queer culture is seen as too explicit, sexual, too far left, weird and different.

Often, our mere existence in spaces is considered RUDE as we are not welcomed, acknowledged or included.

Rude reclaims space, highlights racialised queer artist and artwork and aims to constantly de-center oppressive structures while creating immersive experiences.

Through these processes and by prioritising marginalised queer people, we hope to create environments where there is room to explore our multiple identities, and share important narratives through artistic expression.

Rude makes space for marginalised queers through mixing and juxtaposing art shows, dance parties, performances and unorthodox artistic expression to create a an experience

The RUDE Collective thanks and acknowledges the land on which we live and work, which is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River.
