Support ZEST Creative with their Fringe Show!!

Hello Gorgeous People!!

We are thrilled to be debuting a brand new show for the Toronto Fringe 2025! The show is a double bill titled MUTUAL AIM that will feature a work created by the incredible Louis Laberge-Côté, and another made by the members of ZEST Creative in our usual collaborative spirit.

ZEST Creative is a company made up of close friends who want nothing more than to create and play, and to show their love of art and each other to the world. We have a unique way of art making that is more like a band than a dance company: we all equally contribute to every creation, and everyone's voice is important and heard. They also blur the lines between the roles that they play in other projects- every dancer makes sounds, every musician moves.

About the show:

Mutual Aim is a show born from love. Love for art, love for creation, and love for each other. The delicate art of art-making: (Re)framing phenomenology toward a subversive praxis (re)imag(in)ing an (on/off)tological portfolio of radical dichotomies, by Louis Laberge-Côté, lets the audience bear witness to the great challenge that is creating art, and the beautiful insanity that is part of every collaborative effort. The other piece, It Moves Through Time, is a work created and performed by ZEST Creative, that explores the mercurial nature of memory.

What your donations will go towards:

Creating and producing a show takes countless hours, and the efforts of many artists. It is fun, fulfilling, and all-consuming. But creating a show is expensive. Your donations would go to covering the costs of the following:

-Lighting Designer

-Sound Designer

-Stage Manager

-Photographer

-Archival Footage Videographer

-Printing Fees

-Costumes

-Equipment Rental

-Music Rights

We ask for your support so that all of the beautiful people involved will be paid what they deserve for all of their time and energy that has gone into making this show happen. We love what we do, and we believe in it, and your support will show us that you also believe in it.

Who are we?

We are ZEST Creative! We are not a dance company or a band - we are an artist collective that combines dance and music (and eventually all arts!) into one cohesive, collaborative super-group. This year, our cast is Eva Connelly-Miller (she/her), Maria Riaño (she/her), Mary Patsiatzis (she/her), Hannah Barstow (she/her) and Julien Bradley-Combs (he/him). We make shows that hopefully tickle your imagination and make you feel all the feels.

We appreciate all the support that is given to us. Please share this campaign with your friends and family, and definitely COME SEE THE SHOW! We hope it will be as special to you as it is for us.
