Curatorial Statement
As part of Parks N’ Wreck:
Cypher Playground celebrates club culture. We honour the city’s street dance history, the underground clubs and spaces that fueled its evolution. Through parties, conversations, and community events, we connect the past with the present, preserving and amplifying the voices and movements that have defined Toronto’s street dance scenes. Our events and weekenders celebrate the richness of local street dance culture, and connect across dance styles and musical genres to highlight spaces, people, music and moments in Toronto that have shaped these dances today.
