It’s gearing up to be an exciting fall, and hopefully my Beyond the Box post will be kept short this month! With a more liberal schedule I’m hoping to attend lots of performances as companies get their 2023/24 seasons off the ground.

Fall for Dance North*

Toronto’s premier international dance festival, will bring its diverse line-up of national and international dancemakers to venues across Toronto, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 7, 2023 – with all tickets (still!) priced at just $15. The 2023 edition of FFDN returns to its roots with two signature programmes showcasing an innovative range of contemporary dance by emerging and established choreographers hailing from across the globe. The 9th annual festival also includes a diverse series of live and digital offerings including a full-length presentation of Ohad Naharin’s inventive KAMUYOT; the inaugural, Indigenous-led dance competition, Tkaronto Open, presented on Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation; FFDN’s second annual dance film series; the sneak preview of a CBC docuseries in partnership with The National Ballet of Canada; and the return of the late night series Night/Shift, in support of Ontario-based dancemakers.

September 26 – October 7
