How to Apply

If you are interested in applying, please fill out this Google Form by 11:59 PM EST on August 11th, 2024.

Your application will require the following information:

  • A brief bio of yourself, and your experience (if any) as a storyteller/creator.
  • A brief description of the work you would like to develop in the YCU this year, or a list of some ideas.
  • A brief description sharing why you would like to join the Unit, and what you hope to get out of the experience.
  • Any additional writing and/or artistic materials you would like to have considered with your application. This can be a current script excerpt, mood boards, music playlists, past work, etc. This helps us get to know you and what sparks your interest as an artist!

The program will run from September 11th, 2024, to May 31st, 2025. Group sessions will take place biweekly on Wednesdays from 5-8PM in the PWM Creative Studio, located at 7250 Rue Clark, suite #103. 

The number of Cohort members we can accept is limited, and participants are expected to attend the group sessions, one-on-one meetings,  as well as commit to additional self-directed activities. Please only apply to the YCU if you are able to commit to the full schedule. All applicants will be informed of their results by Friday, September 6th, 2024. 

The Selection Process

Due to the high level of interest in the YCU each year, we will be holding interviews with some of the potential candidates  to learn more about their interests and goals, and what they hope to gain from the program. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask us questions! Please note that not all applicants will be contacted for an interview, and that an interview does not indicate whether or not you have been accepted into the program.

Once the application period is closed, all applications will be reviewed and considered. There are many factors that go into the selection process, such as group dynamics and the range of experience within the Cohort. Decisions will not be based on training or competencies; we therefore encourage applications from all backgrounds and experience levels.

If you have any questions, please contact YCU’s Lead Dramaturg, Leila Ghaemi at leila@playwrights.ca. 

“A singular space for incubation and support, YCU meets young artists where they’re at. During my time I was able to garner so much I wouldn’t be able to achieve alone: an ensemble of motivated peers, unique workshops from interdisciplinary practitioners along with space and time for my piece to grow. Along with the development of my piece, YCU fosters exploration of the playwright’s process, understanding that with each unique story comes unique approaches to the artist and their creation.”

The Residency Creators of the 2024 Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac

The Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac is taking place from June 1st to the 12th!

The residency is known for encouraging a nuanced and generative translation process, through the collaborative unearthing of ideas embedded within plays.

Unique au pays, cette résidence, qui a lieu dans l’historique Maison Fletcher à Tadoussac, au Québec, donne aux traducteurs le temps, l’espace et le soutien dramaturgique nécessaires pour la traduction d’une pièce de théâtre.

The program plays a vital role in Canada’s theatre-making landscape, and we’re pleased to announce this year’s playwright-translator pairs. You can click on each resident’s photo to learn more about their work.

Meet the Translation Dramaturg

We’re pleased to have Maryse Warda as the Glassco Residency’s translation dramaturg and residency host. 

Born in Egypt, where she spent her childhood, Maryse Warda has been active on Quebec stages since 1992, and has translated more than seventy plays. Her work has helped introduce French-speaking audiences to many Canadian authors such as John Mighton, Morris Panych and George F. Walker. She has also translated for many American, British, Scottish and Irish authors including Howard Barker, Margaret Edson, David Greig, David Hare, David Ives, Cindy Lou Johnson, David Mamet, Arthur Miller and Harold Pinter.

In 2011, she received the Governor General’s Award for her translation of the play The Toxic Bus Incident by Greg MacArthur. Her translation of Anthony Black’s One Discordant Violin – inspired by a short story by Yann Martel – was the subject of her work at the Glassco Translation Residency in 2019 and was  presented at La Licorne in the fall of 2022. Since January 2024, she’s had three translations presented in Montreal : Lucy Kirkwood’s Chimerica, at Duceppe; and at Théâtre du Rideau Vert a Québécois adaptation of Benoit Solès’ La Machine de Turing, as well as a translation of Kendall Feaver’s The Almighty Sometimes, consecutively between January and April. 

Since 2006, Maryse has benefited from the wonderful Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac on nine occasions. This is the third summer she serves as translation dramaturg and host.

About the Residency

The Glassco Translation Residency in Tadoussac is dedicated to the art of translation for the stage.

Tout au long de son histoire remarquable, cette résidence a servi de cadre à la traduction de pièces de théâtre en plusieurs langues, notamment en cri, en cantonais, en espagnol, en catalan, en portugais, en tagalog, en anglais et en français.

Places to create during the Gros Morne Playwrights’ Residency

Bonne Bay Aquarium & Research Station

Since 2002, the Bonne Bay Aquarium & Research Station, located on the magnificent west coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, has had the primary mission of expanding knowledge in marine ecology. In addition, the station also engages in community and artistic activities. Nestled in the small coastal community of Norris Point and with breathtaking views, it is equipped with laboratories, offices, a library, a multimedia theatre, an aquarium, and an attached building with individual bedrooms.

The residence is wheelchair accessible. However, the library and theatre space at the Bonne Bay Aquarium & Research Station, which is often used by the playwrights, requires the participant in a wheelchair to leave the residence, travel across the parking lot, into the main lobby entrance to access the library/theatre space.

Gros Morne National Park

Soaring fjords and moody mountains tower above a diverse panorama of beaches and bogs, forests and barren cliffs. Shaped by colliding continents and grinding glaciers, the ancient landscape of Gros Morne national park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Schedule

Friday, April 5th at 7:30PM:

The Mentorship
by Tyson Fraleigh (they/them)
Directed by Jesse Stong

With Anna Morreale, Johanna Nutter, and Andromeda Wang.

A queer director on the rise is invited to dinner with a legendary female filmmaker.  An innocent interview dissolves into an evening of intense psychological abuse.

Content warning:
This play contains depictions of antisemitism, discussions of the Holocaust, abuse perpetrated against and abandonment of queer folx, forced abortion, and violence. Viewer discretion is advised.

Saturday, April 6th at 5:00PM:

Queer Leadership Panel

Why We Need Transgender Stories.

A community-paneled discussion with panelists Kyng Rose, Murdoch Schon, and Mael Cheff, exploring the interplay between 2SLGBTQQIPAA+ identities and art-making. Moderated by Jesse Stong.

Saturday, April 6th at 7:30PM:

It Sticks to the Ryver
by Corbeau Sandoval (he/they)
Directed by Joshua Bilbao

With Ravyn R. Bekh and Symantha Stewart.

The Person and The Other graze over a pristine field.  In the distance, waves crash and a phone rings, unanswered. Two bodies rest against each other- a story about burnout, unmasking, and sandwiches.

This reading is designed to be neuro-divergent friendly. Please feel free to bring and wear noise cancelling headphones during the performance if this will enhance your comfort and enjoyment of the reading. Some quiet stim toys will be made available for the reading.

Letter from QRS Curator Jesse Stong

Welcome back to Centaur for our Queer Reading Series!

This year, we’re thrilled to present two captivating plays crafted by former participants of the Young Creators Unit at Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal. These playwrights are truly gems—bringing beauty, sensitivity, and plenty of food for thought to the table.

Get ready for a double dose of plays delving into the intricacies of contemporary relationships and the diverse tapestry of our queer experiences. They may approach it from different angles, but both promise to captivate and provoke thought in equal measure.

Witnessing the talent and care poured into these creations, I can’t help but feel hopeful about the future of queer theatre. So, a heartfelt thank you for joining us in celebrating queer stories and nurturing emerging talent! 

About the Playwrights

Tyson Fraleigh (they/them) is a writer and playwright based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). Their work focuses on the mundane horrors that fill our day-to-day lives and how to survive them. Their artistic pillars are research-informed creation, social commentary (satirical and serious), and making fun of the stupid things that we are forced to endure because of powerful people.

Corbeau Sandoval (he/they) Born, raised, and based in Tiohtiá:ke (colonially known as Montreal), Corbeau Sandoval is a queer neurodivergent multidisciplinary theatre artist of mixed heritage. Throughout their budding career, they’ve had the chance to expand their creative skills in a number of positions on both the performance and production sides of the entertainment coin. With abundant joy, they are excited to present their newest play It Sticks to the Ryver alongside Tyson Fraleigh’s The Mentorship for this year’s Queer Reading Series.

About the Glassco Translation Residency

The Glassco Translation Residency invites playwrights and translators from across Canada and internationally to come together for ten days in Tadoussac, Quebec, to work in-depth on their translation projects.

Participants are provided with a unique opportunity to focus on their projects and to share questions in a residency environment. Translations into all languages are welcomed. Over the past 17 years we have offered space, time, and dramaturgical expertise to over 72 translation projects into languages such as Cantonese, Catalan, Cree, English, French, Innu-aimun, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, Tagalog and Urdu.

The Glassco Translation Residency dramaturg will once again be award-winning translator Maryse Warda, joined by residency producer and co-host, Briony Glassco.

Details on the Stay

The house: The residency is in Tadoussac, Québec in an 18th century log home. There are 8 steps down to the entrance of the house. Each guest will have their own room with a writing area, and there are multiple locations to write throughout the home. The bathrooms are shared. The bathrooms are not wheelchair accessible. For detailed information or to ask specific questions about the bathrooms, accommodations, or workspaces, please email accessibility@playwrights.ca.

Travel: In order to arrive in Tadoussac, transportation is provided typically by train or airplane to Quebec City. From Quebec City, a three-hour taxi ride or a bus ride via Orleans Express (that crosses a ferry at one point) brings the participants to the house in Tadoussac. 

Meals: PWM hires a chef to make dinner each evening. Lunch and breakfast are on a self-serve basis. PWM asks all participants their food preferences and dietary restrictions ahead of time so that we can accommodate them. The dinners are communal.

Internet: WiFi access throughout the house has been recently optimized and is suitable for working. However, it may not be suitable for video calls and streaming in certain areas, and service interruptions are possible due to the remote location.
