Since 2005 the Toronto Youth Theatre has striven to produce uncompromising theatre with young actors. Today, with more than 25 shows under our belts we have positioned ourselves as Toronto's premiere youth theatre. The TYT's mandate is to: Assist in the personal, cultural, artistic and social development of young people through the medium of theatre. Provide every interested student who applies to take part, regardless of their experience or their financial status. Allow youth to assert their independence, develop their imagination, and take risks in an environment where it is safe, acceptable and encouraged. Provide guidance from a team of talented theatre professionals for each production
The core of Kaeja d'Dance is driven by the creation of new and original dance through the interconnected mediums of live performance, educational/community programming and dance on film. Led by Karen and Allen, our work addresses universal qualities of life and investigates the power of dance to elevate and unite the human spirit against physical, social and environmental obstacles. We remain committed to social and artistic exploration, and utilize the language of choreography - and the interrelated tributaries of performance, education and film - to incite a passion for movement and to nurture a new appreciation for the richness of the human experience. Our vigorous commitment to the profession and community of dance is inspired from the relentless core of passionate joy, stimulating ideas and intrigue that Karen and Allen Kaeja inhabit. This is reflected in our consistent search within ourselves to inform and invigorate the Company vision and the future of dance and dance audiences through educational projects for youth, professional dancers and educators, and through outreach activities for new and current audiences.
