Dance Animal was founded in Montreal in November 2008 by Robin Henderson. Inspired by pop culture, pop music, music videos, politics, reality television, fashion, musical theatre, sketch comedy and her own personal travels, Dance Animal:Toronto is Robin’s love-letter to the city of Toronto. Wanting to reflect the vast spectrum of languages and cultures of her adopted city, Robin deliberately combines the talents of a diverse cast of theatre artists to dynamic results. Our campaign will cover the costs of producing our current Fringe production and raise funds for future shows.
Being rockstar-superheroes takes time and money. Your generous donations will help us to pay for rehearsal space, tights, body suits, tops, leggings, shoes, tights, props and more tights. Have we mentioned how expensive tights are?
To promote our fantastic new show, we hired a photographer for headshots and group shots, a graphic designer for posters, postcards, and programs and a website designer.
Then there's the backstage costs including office supplies, union fees, laundry, transportation, a videographer and staffing costs for our creative and production teams.
Since the premiere of their first (and bilingual) production Dance Animal Presents: Dance Animal, Dance Animal has been smashing box-office records everywhere they perform. They’ve had record breaking sold-out runs at the Montreal Fringe Festival, the Just For Laughs Festival, Zoofest and the Centaur Theatre’s Wildside Festival. In 2009 they won the Just For Laughs “Best Comedy” award and were short-listed for the Centaur Theatre "Best Production" award for their first show Dance Animal Presents: Dance Animal. In 2010 they won the Cirque du Soleil "Best Original Creation" award, were given an Honourable Mention for the Studio 303 "Best Choreography" award and were nominated for the MECCA award for Best Ensemble for their show Dance Animal Presents : Freaks of Nature.
Dance Animal also believes in supporting their community. They have performed in over 30 events/fundraisers outside of their festival runs including the Toronto Pride Parade, Concordia University’s Garnet Key Society’s Autism Fundraiser, the Toronto Air Guitar Championships in support of Right to Play, the Montreal Rollerderby, Yas Kween, Faggity Ass Friday – fundraiser for Head and Hands, and the UQAM fundraiser for Ligne Parents.
