hub 14 art + performance
hub 14 art + performance is a collectively run research and performance space in downtown Toronto, Queen West, dedicated to the development and presentation of cutting-edge dance, theatre and interdisciplinary practices.
Run by a collective of artists engaged in different aspects and genres of performance-making, hub 14 is united by a belief in nurturing and creating challenging, exciting and rigorous work in whatever genre or style. We actively seek engagement with practices and systems outside of our personal experience, including practices from other art forms and critical traditions. We believe in a supportive, challenging and active solidarity between artists working in different threads of dance art and in diverse disciplines.
