The Pool at Winchester Street Theatre

Toronto Dance Theatre is proud to present The Pool, a new project led by choreographer and poet Aisha Sasha John, with a premiere performance on March 1, followed by three performances March 6-8, 2025 at Winchester Street Theatre. The Pool is the culmination of Aisha's time with the company as the inaugural TDT Affiliate Artist (2023-25), created in collaboration with the current TDT ensemble.

The Pool, fundamentally, is a work about the power, patterns, and poetry of being together. Although being-together may be a common theme for group dance work, The Pool takes very seriously what those terms of togetherness are and could be. The Pool documents a commitment not to betray our hearts, with the understanding that the heart is both collective field and personal compass.

Choreographed by Aisha Sasha John, The Pool will feature the current TDT ensemble Camil Bellefleur, Brayden Cairns, Millina Fletcher, Megumi Kokuba, Ryan Kostyniuk, Roberto Soria, and Elizabeth Yip.
