Empty It Out
Empty your old cups (or at least wash your water bottle) to invite catharsis and release.
Our last night of What Is: heart(break) proposes the dignity of endings, clearings, and cathartic release. Having filled our cups over five days, Secondsight offers a live, sonic meditation, gently guiding us to let go and empty it out, with the awareness that these are aspects of an intricate and never-ending cycle. Attendees can lie down and get comfy through a meditation that hovers between experimental ambient, esoteric sound healing practices, and spacious atmospheric textures inspired by afrosurrealism and dreamwork.
And when an ending still feels unbearable, Empty-It-Out Ensemble forms a drone orchestra punctuated by offerings by poets Jade Blair and Khashayar Mohammadi. Together, they create moments of trance, stillness, and sudden breaks that transport the body to a state of levity liberated from its weights and wounds.
Both acts serve as a beautiful cap-off to What Is: heart(break) and remind us that even when endings suck, they’re sometimes just what we need.

TICKETING & ACCESSIBILITY INFO
RUSH LINE & NO-SHOW POLICY
Sometimes our shows sell out, and that can be a bummer for folks who didn’t get a ticket. We’ve developed a new ticketing policy that applies to advance ticket holders and those wanting tickets to ensure a fair, transparent process for releasing additional tickets to a sold-out show. Please read our full policy here.
TICKETING
Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.
ACCESSIBILITY INFO
We regret that 918 Bathurst is not fully accessible due to stairs (two steps to the main entrance, a half-flight to enter the performance space, and a half-flight to access the washrooms and the Music Gallery office).
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to matthew@musicgallery.org.
COVID POLICY
We strongly encourage masking at all times. For our full policy, click here.
SAFER SPACE
We expect all attendees and community members to respect one another, and to respect the work that was created for you to explore. We will not tolerate harm or harmful behaviour of any kind. View our policy here.
