Studio 24
Celebrating a Decade of FFDN

  • Sep 28
  • In-Person at The Betty Oliphant Theatre & Mona Campbell Square

A special evening to honour Founding Artistic Director Ilter Ibrahimof and the international dance festival he created for Toronto, with one-night-only performances by Nederlands Dans Theater, Malpaso Dance Company, Lady C & Raoul Wilke, and a world premiere by Peggy Baker.

Like NYC’s iconic disco, Studio 24 celebrates creativity, friendship, and inspiration.

Drinks, dinner and one night only performances by Nederlands Dans Theater, Malpaso Dance Company, Lady C & Raoul Wilke, and a world premiere by Peggy Baker mark a defining moment in FFDN’s history. After dinner, bring your joy to the floor, let the lights of the disco cascade over you, and step into FFDN’s next decade! 

This special evening honors Founding Artistic Director Ilter Ibrahimof and the international dance festival he created for Toronto.
