The Creative Connexions Performing Arts Centre, at 513 Westney Rd. S. in Ajax, will take part in the inaugural Immersion Festival Toronto, running Nov. 14–22 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre and Jarvis Mansion in Toronto.

The studio will present in the festival's Next Gen presentation alongside nine other teams from the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal. Founder and artistic director Rhea Bowman says the studio was selected as one of 33 entries and will perform a revamped version of a set it has performed before.

Dance Immersion, founded in 1994 and led by executive director Timea Wharton-Suri, runs the festival to promote dance styles and artists of the African diaspora. Most events are ticketed, except the closing party on Nov. 22.
