“IYC is a two-week program for LGBTQ2S+ youth ages 12-15 focusing on empowerment, self-expression, and artistic creation. 

Throughout this immersive circus experience, participants will learn both aerial and ground circus from a variety of Queer and Trans artists, and work together to create a final show. 

Our purpose is to support folks who may not feel as welcomed in traditional movement spaces. This includes queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming people, those experiencing mental illness, neurodivergent people, racialized folks, people with disabilities, and youth of all body sizes. 

Thanks to the generous funding from ArtReach and the Toronto Arts Council this program will be free to all participants.

Applications are accepted on a first come first served basis. Applications close July 15″
