Fill up the Space!

The MT Space has been created to explore cultural experience between people, their histories, and their forms of expression in performance. Drawing upon the wealth of multicultural identities living in the Waterloo region, the MT Space aims to increase activity between performance artists of many disciplines, cultural orientations, and spaces of practice. Through theatre, various traditions and cultural orientations will meet in a space of formal innovation, to initiate new signs of identity and forms of theatrical expression, in the act of defining community itself.

The MT Space challenges conventional communication standards and strives to create room for meaningful interaction through dance, music, art, theatre and other forms of expression. New levels of communication will emerge between artists of varied cultures and their audiences. The MT Space, by fostering relationships through these new communication techniques, is adding a new dimension to the current cultural scene.

This project is especially relevant in our local community. According to Waterloo Region Public Health (2004), immigrants currently make up over one-fifth (21.56%) of the population of the Waterloo region, the fifth highest per capita of all urban areas in Canada . Over the past several years the immigrant population in the region has increasingly originated from non-English speaking countries.
