Toronto Dance Theatre

TDT is the legendary artistic home and collaboration hub where, since 1968, curious creators, ensemble performers and audiences inspire each other to create and celebrate new explorations of dance that reflect our times, our diverse cultures, and communities.

Ever fresh and adventurous, TDT is one of Canada’s leading innovators in dance while being one of the very few dance companies in the country with a full-time ensemble of dancers. TDT is driven to make a significant impact in Canadian dance by developing enthralling new stage works, creating empowering dance activations in the community, and supporting artists through residency opportunities that encourage artistic risk-taking.

Andrew Tay became Artistic Director in 2020, ushering in an exciting new era that reflects on using the resources at the company’s disposal to address important issues within the local dance ecosystem. His curatorial and choreographic practice is informed by being both Filipino and queer, aiming to create the kinds of spaces he would like to exist in as a queer and racialized artist. Under Tay's artistic leadership, Toronto Dance Theatre is committed to being a cultural catalyst within our community. Our work speaks to those with a curiosity for new ideas and innovation, rather than those seeking affirmation of what they already know. We foreground unique conversations between diverse dance forms and aesthetics, celebrate the intersectional identities of our ensemble and the artists with whom we collaborate, and support the development of Toronto artists in the greater Canadian and international dance scene.
