MT Space

Get on the Map

Since 2004, MT Space has maintained a commitment to working with artists from Indigenous, immigrant, refugee and other
marginalized and racialized communities. MT Space has grown from being a company that produces one show every year to an
organization that brings culturally and socially relevant work from across the country and around the world to our community
of Kitchener-Waterloo. We have challenged the preconceptions of theatre to create, produce, and present work that is
accessible and affordable to low income families while creating a space for Indigenous, immigrant, refugee, racialized and
marginalized voices to be heard.

    This series enables us to offer high quality, diverse and affordable theatre programming year round, something that no one else is currently doing in our region. In the past five years, MT Space has developed into a recognizable presenter of unconventional and independent work that comes from marginalized and racialized communities and continues to develop into one of the most highly respected and sought after presenters of Indigenous and culturally diverse theatre in Canada.

  • Workshops

    Workshops and Education - MT Space brings theatre professionals from across the globe to provide high-level professional training for members of the community. Mostly recently, MT Space partnered with local arts organization CAFKA to present La Pocha Nostra, who led participants in creating performance art pieces as forms of activism and decolonizing spaces. Incubation - By providing mentorship and access to space and other resources, we have created an environment in which artists and organizations in the community are able to grow and develop, including Theatre Mada, The X Page, YUVA, and Cosmic Fishing.
