HUB 14 is a performance and rehearsal space in Toronto dedicated to the development and presentation of cutting edge dance, theatre and interdisciplinary practices.

Run by a collective of artists engaged in different aspects and genres of performance making, HUB 14 is united by a belief in nurturing and creating challenging, exciting and rigorous work in whatever genre or style is at hand. We actively seek engagement with practices and systems outside of our personal experience, including practices from other art forms and critical traditions. We believe in a supportive, challenging and active solidarity between artists working in different threads of dance art and in diverse disciplines.

The core members are Ame Henderson, Jen Johnson, Meagan O'Shea, and Jacob Zimmer.

HISTORY
HUB 14 has quickly established itself within the dance and theatre communities as an affordable, welcoming space in which to create, rehearse and perform.  It has also provided a venue for artists to come together to share ideas, conversation and new ideas.  New connections between art forms and artists have been forged and will continue to grow through HUB 14’s ongoing endeavours. 

Since 2006, HUB 14 has co-presented a variety of successful workshops and performances that have demonstrated a current, relevant and exploratory drive.  Most prominent were two successful seasons of the performance series Pick 7.  The inaugural Pick 7 season included the artists Nadia Ross with George Acheson, Kevin Rees-Cummings with Scott Maynard, Susie Burpee with Darren O’Donnell, Shary Boyle with Alissa York and JP Robichaud with Valerie Calam. The second Pick 7 season featured the artists Eric Craven with Sandro Perri, Aimée Dawn Robinson with Eric Chenaux, Keith Hennessy with Ellen Ray Snow, John Oswald and Holly Small with Eve Egoyan and David Rokeby, Erika Hennebury with Laura Nanni, and Daniel Arcé with John A. Wilson.

HUB 14 co-presented workshop versions of Small Wooden Shoe’s Perhaps in a Hundred Years; Meagan O’Shea’s Night Stills, As I unravel small maps of my spirit, and something blue; Ame Henderson’s Manual for Incidence; and Fable directed and co-created by Jen Johnson with Adam Lazarus. The group also introduced Mostly Just Doing the Saturday Crossword, an afternoon of crossword performance and coffee, and brought Tim Maly to teach Up for Debate, a series of workshops on formal debating.  In May 2006, HUB 14 co-presented Katie Ewald’s god bless and praise, and in May 2007 HUB 14 hosted and co-produced Contemporary Dance: the State of the Art, a mini-conference with Pam Johnson and collective (gulp).
