Twist & TELL!

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Let’s dance! 

Our open mic and potluck event is back after a brief hiatus. Join us once more in November for our signature community gathering event. From dance to drag, to displays of fine art – just about anything you want to share with us, we want to see it! This time around, we wanna see your moves. It’s almost winter, let’s warm up with some dance movements.  

If you enjoyed our previous TELL! events, please consider donating in support of the Majdi Bou-Matar Bursary. All proceeds will go towards establishing an endowment fund with Waterloo Region Community Foundation to keep the bursary sustainable for years to come. Support the bursary by donating $20 in celebration of MT Space’s 20 full years of theatrical work. Any and all donations are welcomed.   

About TELL!  

TELL! is MT Space's coffeehouse open-mic style event offering the community an artistic platform to share their works in a casual setting. These sharings can be performances, stories, lectures, poetry, drag, fine art displays -- any type of creation.  

We know that art and food bring people together like nothing else. Join us for a potluck meal and bring a food offering* to share if you're able to. We'll provide plates, cutlery, and beverages (coffee, tea, and water). Help us reduce waste by bringing in your own reusable cups, bottles, and mugs for water and coffee! 

*Please include an ingredients list for any dishes you bring.  
Doors open at 7:00pm. Event starts at 7:30pm. 

TELL! is a free event. Families with small children are also welcomed.  

This event is low/no tech. Bring anything you may need for your performance/presentation, including amps for instruments. There will be music stands available, mic, an acoustic guitar, an ukulele, and an electronic keyboard.
