Formed in 2013 by Kim Renders, Dan Vena, Robin McDonald, and Robert Lindsay, Chipped Off Performance Collective believes in the power of art and performance to surprise, enlighten, provoke, astonish, challenge and change. We are the only Feminist/Queer performing arts collective in Kingston committed to presenting work that speaks to the needs and concerns of underrepresented or marginalized communities in Kingston.
