As a festival that brings together performance nationally and internationally, we wish to acknowledge that SummerWorks takes place on the traditional territory, Tkaronto, “Where the Trees Meet the Water,” “The Gathering Place” of the Mississauga, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat Nations. As we come together we pay our respects to all our relations who have gathered and will continue to gather in this place.
Founded in 1991, SummerWorks is Canada’s largest curated performance festival of theatre, dance, music, and live art. The Festival is widely recognized as one of the most vital platforms for launching new Canadian work – locally, nationally, and internationally. For 11 days every August, SummerWorks hosts over 500 artists, performing in over 60 performance projects.
