VenueSt. Lawrence Centre for the Arts
For the first time in Toronto, the international celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy brings a spectacular cultural showcase to the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. Running across early October 2026, these complimentary community performances blend traditional qigong, martial arts, music, dance, and contemporary performing arts into a narrative celebrating universal values of love, peace, and conscience.
What to Expect
Tai Ji Men’s globally acclaimed productions have previously graced major international stages like the Sydney Opera House and the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. This Toronto engagement offers local audiences a rare chance to experience their vibrant storytelling and choreography first-hand. Performances will be hosted at the Jane Mallett Theatre on October 2–3, moving to the Bluma Appel Theatre on October 4.
Practical Details
While admission is offered as a complimentary community gift, advance reservation is required as seating is limited. Located right in the heart of Old Toronto at 27 Front St E, the venue is easily accessible by TTC via Union Station and is surrounded by great dining options in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood for a pre- or post-show bite.
