SUMMARY:The Room Upstairs
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of 10 years\, Holla Jazz\, in partnership with DanceWorks and Toronto Dance Theatre\, presents the world premiere of The Room Upstairs\, on stage at the Winchester Street Theatre\, on April 29 to May 2\, 2026 at 7:30pm. Choreographed by Holla Jazz Founding Artistic Director Natasha Powell\, The Room Upstairs is an ode to the indelible impact of John Coltrane\, as one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz—and a fitting tribute in the year that marks what would have been his 100th birthday. Through the vocabulary of black vernacular dances\, and set to a live musical score of some of Coltrane’s most celebrated songs\, including “Giant Steps\,” “Naima\,” and “My Favourite Things\,”Powell’s choreography ruminates on the inspirational beauty of Coltrane’s creative process—honed in a special room in the upstairs of his family home. Tickets from $15. For more information and to purchase tickets\, visit: hollajazz.com
