Here’s a little bit about Hercinia Arts:

Hercinia comes from the name of a Germanic firebird, not unlike the phoenix, whose glowing feathers light the path ahead for travellers. Hercinia Arts Collective is made up of diverse performers with backgrounds in aerial, dance, acrobatics and theatre. By combining our talents with artists from a variety of fields, we work to create art that transcends traditional forms.

Since 2009, our unique performances have been showcased throughout Canada from Busker festivals to weddings and corporate parties, and everything in between. Based in Liberty Village, Toronto, our studio is as diverse as our performances, transforming from training space to art party venue to gallery on a regular basis.

Hercinia’s unique approach to training is to encourage the growth of a vocabulary of movement for expressive purposes. Our instructors are qualified working professionals with backgrounds in the expressive arts of dance, theatre, music and visual arts as well as aerial and acrobatics. For us, these are all tools that can help us be better storytellers. We’d like to help you discover the same in a safe,supportive and fun environment.
