POOL PARTY IS A CELEBRATION OF LIVENESS
It is a space for emerging Toronto artists to create or present works that take risks and challenge convention. It is a space for the disparate art scenes of Toronto to come together in a shared love of creation.
POOL PARTY is collaborative by nature - pieces and performances overlap and influence each other throughout the night. Moving through the party, audience members may focus on particular works or experience the push and pull of it all, the chaotic totality moving into miraculous clarity when performers find planned or spontaneous connections between their art.
