Folda - Festival of Live Digital Art

Dear Friends and Community,

After 8 incredible years in Kingston, we are thrilled to announce that FOLDA is heading to Toronto!

To ensure our first year in our new home is nothing short of spectacular, we have decided to take an intentional programming pause in 2026 and invest our energy into building new relationships, expanding our networks, and shaping a festival experience that is rooted in this next chapter of FOLDA.

This move isn’t just about a change of scenery; it’s about expanding our reach and bringing our unique approach to experiencing artistic experimentation.

This is a time of creativity and growth that fits in with our curatorial vision to program works at three different stages of development: ALPHA (proof of concept testing), BETA (works in development) and GO (tour ready).

The FOLDA Festival is also a work in development and each year we build on our successes and work to improve the experience for artists and audiences alike. We are thrilled to bring our artistic programming to Toronto. Audiences can expect to see boundary-pushing work by artists from across Canada who are expanding the possibilities of live theatre and performance.

We are incredibly grateful to the Kingston individuals and organizations that supported FOLDA from 2018-2025: the City of Kingston Arts Fund, Queen’s University’s DAN School of Drama and Music and Ingenuity Labs, and the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.

And we are grateful for you and this community we’ve built together.

Thank you for growing with us. We can’t wait to welcome you to Toronto June 9-12, 2027!

—Adrienne, Mike, Marcel and Margaret
