Pour toute question sur cette inscription ou pour de l’assistance pour s’inscrire, Spatial Dramaturgy with Shauna Janssencommuniquez avec Harris, coordonnateur des programmes, à harris@playwrights.ca.
This multi-day workshop led by Shauna Janssen (interdisciplinary artist and curator) will focus on exploring performance creation methods for developing site-specific/ responsive and urban performance works.
Participants will be engaged in “hands-on” activities taking place in the city, including site-writing and performative mapping workshops. Each participant will realize a prototype for an urban performance project, as well as have an opportunity to engage with critical texts on interdisciplinary approaches to spatial dramaturgy and creating site-specific performances in the built environment. The workshop is open to playwrights, interdisciplinary performance makers and storytellers, scenographers, and dramaturgs.
Le PWM s’engage à offrir un environnement où toutes les personnes sont traitées avec dignité et respect. Nous veillons constamment à rendre tous nos programmes accessibles.
PWM welcomes all applications to our programs. While recognizing that the identity of each person is fundamentally plural, multidimensional, changing and evolving, we strongly encourage applications from artists who are: Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit), Black, POC, racialized (including recent immigrants), 2SLGBTQQIPAA+, neurodivergent, disabled, living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain. PWM is strongly committed to supporting a wide range of cultural identities and lived experiences, therefore we encourage applicants to self-identify in their application if they are comfortable doing so.
