A Community Update from TDT


March 10, 2026


Toronto Dance Theatre would like to inform the community that Artistic Director Andrew Tay is taking a leave of absence to address a serious health condition requiring immediate care, and to devote time for rest and recovery.

Andrew has been an inspiring artistic leader and an important part of the TDT family since 2020. As an organization grounded in care, collaboration, and respect for the wellbeing of artists and cultural workers, we at TDT, fully support Andrew in taking this time to focus on his health. We look forward to welcoming him back once he has fully recovered.

During Andrew’s leave, the team will be in communication with him and will continue to carry forward the programming already in place for this season and the upcoming season. The organization remains committed to supporting the artists and projects currently in development and to maintaining the artistic vision and momentum Andrew has helped cultivate.

For matters that would normally be directed to Andrew, please contact Michael Toppings, Managing Director, who will respond during Andrew’s absence.

We appreciate the understanding and support of our community during this time and join everyone in wishing Andrew strength and a full recovery.
