Join POLITICAL MOVEMENT for the intimate and true stories of 12 movement-based artists. Through 6 unscripted duets centred around ‘conversations about the state of the world’, heart2heart offers a compassionate dance theatre work that questions how we seek to build relationships across difference, across sameness and across generation. Featuring an ensemble of queer, POC, fat, multilingual, non-binary, differently abled, mothers, teachers, immigrants and all Torontonians, heart2heart marks RISER Project’s first-ever programmed dance work.

heart2heart is presented as part RISER Project, a collaborative producing model created by Why Not Theatre with the generous support of RBC Foundation, TD Bank Group, and the Government of Canada. RISER is also supported by Aluna Theatre, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Cahoots Theatre, Factory Theatre, fu-GEN Asian Canadian Theatre Company, Modern Times Stage Company, Necessary Angel Theatre Company, Nightwood Theatre, Roseneath Theatre, Shaw Festival, Theatre Passe Muraille, and The Theatre Centre. The first three years of RISER Project were made possible by Toronto Arts Council’s Open Door program.
