Profits  from this show will support Rainbow Circus a LGBTQ-run, Disability  centered, circus space that provides inclusive movement opportunities to  people not represented in fitness spaces.

50%  of show profits go to Rainbow Circus community scholarships to support  financial access to circus classes for 2SLGBTQ+ youth.

5% of show profits go to Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction as part of our reconciliation work.

All  performers are attendees of our free Rainbow Circus camps—a week-long  immersive circus program for 2SLGBTQ+, and neurodivergent youth between  the ages of 13-16. The program teaches circus arts, expressive movement,  and performance techniques while creating community spaces where youth  can be their authentic selves.

We  are grateful for support from our various community members, including  the Toronto Arts Council and ArtReach for funding the camp programming  this summer and The Redwood Theatre for their sponsorship of both our  program and show!

Access Notes: Getting Here:

The address is 1300 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON M4L 1Y7

The nearest intersection is Greenwood and Gerrard.

The building is accessible by bus from Greenwood station, as well as the 506 College/Gerrard streetcar.

Street parking and bike lockups are available in the surrounding neighborhood.

It  can be hard to stop on Gerrard Street directly, so for easier dropoffs,  we suggest turning onto Redwood Ave (a one-way street going North) and  getting dropped off next to the building.

The  building is accessible by bus from Greenwood station, as well as the  506 College/Gerrard streetcar. Greenwood station is only barrier-free at  the street level and is not accessible by subway. The nearest  accessible subway is Coxwell Station.

The Building:

The entrance to the building is off the sidewalk, a set of double doors, that open manually (no push button).

There  is no lip on the door. There is a moderately steep ramp from the  entrance into the main space.It goes up from the street level, and then  back down into the main space, at a grade that is not to code and has no  railings. Wheelchair users may need physical assistance to go up this  ramp. The main space is level. The floors are a mix of concrete and  wooden dance floors.

The  space is lit with dimmable overhead track lighting, with minimal  windows. There are sound panels against the walls to reduce ambient  noise.

It has air conditioning and an updated H-Vac system for air filtration.

Washrooms:

There is a single-user non-gendered washroom on the mainspace floor.

The  washroom has enough space for a manual wheelchair but would be too  small for a powerchair user to turn around comfortably. There is no  automatic door opener there is a grab bar, but the placement isn’t  great. Handles to the bathroom door were knobs not levers. The faucet  may pose access barriers to folks with limited mobility as it needs  sustained pressure to function.

There are also two multi-user washrooms. The washrooms with urinals are down a set of three stairs.
