Harbourfront Centre - HATCH: emerging performance projects

Celebrating its 5th anniversary, HATCH: emerging performance projects has developed over the years to offer a series of performance creation residencies, designed to support invention and innovation in performance and foster new relationships between local artists and the public.

Covering the range of Toronto's lively and diverse performance scene, HATCH offers fans of interdisciplinary performance, artistic exploration and new work the opportunity to encounter the most original new voices this city has to offer, while offering emerging creators an important next step in their development. The public is offered new work; artists are offered new audiences.
