The Company

DIN OF SHADOWS IS A TORONTO-BASED EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY.
WE ARE A COLLECTION OF CREATORS AND PERFORMERS FROM THE WORLDS OF MUSIC, DANCE, AND THEATRE DEDICATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKS BY CANADIAN ARTISTS. WE SEEK OUT THE ART OF THE IN-BETWEEN: THE PIECES THAT DON’T FIT NEATLY INTO TRADITIONAL CATEGORIES, AND THAT MIGHT NOT BE REALIZED ANYWHERE ELSE.

History

Founded in 2017 by Artistic Director Quinn Jacobs, Din has worked with 63 artists and technical personnel, including composers, vocalists, instrumentalists, choreographers, dancers, dramaturges, actors, visual artists, authors, photographers, videographers, stage managers, stage hands, lighting technicians, audio technicians, and other venue staff.
We have commissioned and premiered 19 mixed media works by Canadian creators across six events; three at Arraymusic (2017, 2018, 2019), two at The Music Gallery (2019, 2022), and one exclusively on social media (2022).
We’d like to extend a huge thanks to the Toronto Arts Council, the SOCAN Foundation, The Music Gallery, The Underground Dance Centre, and our incredible audiences for supporting us over the years! Our work would not be possible without you.
