2024 was one hell of a year
We're looking back on the last years projects over the next few weeks (in no particular order), and getting ready to share what's coming up!
Starting off with
Still Life: Of a Wedding
I Do, I Don't, I Dare, a festival of weddings in art, produced by @talkisfreetheatre
Performed by @y.k_kong and @eris.thomas.art
Dramaturgy by @all.is.to.be.dared
We've got an amazing fall/winter coming down the road, and we're so excited to share it with you all! Stay tuned for more details...

Wildly chuffed to have been nominated for a #Dora2024 alongside so many Toronto theatre giants. We laughed, we hugged, we danced our faces off... Thanks to @tapa_to and the jury, puuuuurrrfect host @ryanghinds, and to our dreamy community for an incredible evening... our wee hearts are very full ๐๐๐๐๐งกโค๐ค
#Quartet has been nominated for a #Dora! Thank you so much to our incredible Producer/Other Hearts Founding member @y.k_kong, Co-Producer @aarrow/@video_cabaret, to our fantastic Stage Manager/Assistant Director @dontbemeek, to @tapa_to and the jury, and to our fellow nominees and audience... we are beyond thrilled!
These people...
I can't believe we are closing this beautiful beast of a work today. It has been been a long and beautiful journey, and I can't imagine anyone else who would have joined me for it
So some thankyous:
@antmomm , whose incredible designs made concrete what had only whispered
@y.k_kong who put so much love and care into producing this impossible ask
@dontbemeek who served this work in every imaginable capacity. It truly wouldn't have been possible otherwise
@aarrow and @video_cabaret , who gave this work the most perfect home I could imagine
@coopershoots who captured this work of many years with a brilliant eye
@eltoroburlesque , the perfect marriage of a million disciplines and desires, no one could have held Valmont or the vision or the various cameras better
And @all.is.to.be.dared , you perfect mad creature, who held me together, who held the show together, who held this impossible task and asked for more: Mertueile is yours, as am I, forever
The reviews are in! "Quartet is the sort of daring underground work Toronto could use more of..." from Next Magazine
We're on hiatus until Wednesday. We must close on the 21st, go get your tix!
