Tonic, a new nightclub in the heart of Toronto's fashion and threatre district. The club is a reincarnation of sorts for the dance emporium formerly known as Orchid, designed by Yabu Pushelberg in the mid 90's. Tonic is a specialized environment, like a theatre or railway terminal floating free of day-to-day logic and responsibilities. Associationis of motion and transition are played out in a space that is streamlined, neutral and abstracted - a place waiting to be called in to life by people dancing, talking, and gesturing.
