2:30-5:00pm
Tarragon Theatre, 30 Bridgman Avenue

Supported by: CPAMO & The Black Pledge

Registration Deadline: November 21

In the first of a series of “TAPA Talks” under the umbrella of the TAPA Trade Series in collaboration with the Social Justice Committee, our first conversation is focused with the Dance Community.


We need to expand and re-imagine the ways we move forward collectively within a social justice framework. We hope this dialogue can be the first step in mapping our learning about audiences (who? where?), and what opportunities exist within a new demographic of audiences. At this first TAPA TALKS we garner insights about existing projects like the Choreographers Network and hope to strengthen intergenerational relationships leading to collaborations. TAPA extends an invitation to meet, hear and share as we strategize new modes of practice together.

Featuring a panel of industry leadersDenise FujiwaraDedra McDermottCarmen Romero and Santee Smith.

The TAPA AGM is a community event and a great opportunity to network. connect, and show your appreciation for our vibrant performing arts community.

This year’s AGM is particularly special, as it marks the final meeting for our Executive Director, Jacoba Knaapen, who has dedicated many years to advancing our industry. It’s a chance to express our thanks for her invaluable contributions. We’ll also be bidding farewell to several board members who have served with distinction.

Land Acknowledgement

At the end of the last ice age, the land that we work on was flooded as the glaciers melted, becoming ancient Lake Iroquois. Just up the street, our office at B Street, what we now know as Davenport Road was the shoreline and a trail known as “Gete-Onigaming,” Ojibwe for “at the old portage,” came into being to travel between the Humber and Don River. This route served many diverse people, just as we intend to serve the various diverse communities through B Street.

The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) is grateful for and acknowledges the sacred land on which we work, live and play. The land and waterways in this area have been the site of human activity for over 15,000 years and is ancestral territory called Tkaronto, “where the trees stand in the water.” Tkaronto is a gathering place of many nations and peoples past and present, recorded and unrecorded, including: the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

Tkaronto was subject to the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We acknowledge this treaty was ignored and disregarded.

We acknowledge and reference the global oppression of colonialism that is ongoing and stand in solidarity with the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit communities who continue to seek liberation and decolonization within the colonial project of Canada.

TAPA encourages you to visit Native Land for details of indigenous territories, treaties and languages and to take action to respect and care for the land, air and water we continue to share.

TAPA unveiled a visualization of our land acknowledgement in 2024. Our visualization was created by Tyler J Sloane (they/he/she) who is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on performance arts and media arts, and has a foundation in theatre as an actor, producer, and director.
