This program offers sustained dramaturgical and artistic support to one working playwright* residing on the island of Montr\u00e9al. This includes dramaturgical consultation, a creation workshop, a creation production residency, followed by a laboratory presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program aims to support the artistic practice of theatre artists who identify as Indigenous (First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit), Black, POC, racialized including 1st<\/sup> or 2nd<\/sup> generation immigrant artists (as defined in the Conseil des Arts de Montr\u00e9al\u2019s glossary<\/a>) working creatively in one of Canada\u2019s official languages. Additionally, it seeks to foster dialogue between Montr\u00e9al\u2019s English- and French-speaking theatre communities, as well as intercultural exchanges and greater representation for culturally diverse artists within the theatre community and on Montr\u00e9al\u2019s stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to support artists writing in French and artists writing in English, CAM and La Serre offer this program alternately with the Centre des auteurs dramatiques<\/a> (CEAD) in French, and with PWM<\/a> in English. This edition is intended for artists creating in the English language. PWM is an English language minority company, therefore the work with PWM will take place in English and the application must be completed in English. Please refer to the Program Presentation (PDF)<\/a> for more details about what this partnership includes, eligibility criteria and other conditions. Board Members of CAM, PWM and La Serre are not eligible to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n * This is an opportunity for professional playwrights as defined in the Conseil de Arts de Montreal glossary: “An individual with a professional artistic practice who possesses the necessary experience and knowledge to develop this practice. This includes self-taught individuals as well as those who have studied art. This person is recognized in their artistic community (artists working in the same artistic tradition), creates, carries out or publishes works of art, is dedicated to their artistic practice and is generally paid for their work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Founded in 1956, the Conseil des arts de Montr\u00e9al<\/a> identifies, supports and recognizes excellence in the professional creation, production and dissemination of the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To remain in tune with the organizations and collectives it serves, the Conseil relies on its knowledge of the communities, its innovative skills, and its ability to bring the city\u2019s artists and financial partners together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fond\u00e9 en 1963, le Playwrights\u2019 Workshop Montr\u00e9al (PWM) est un centre de d\u00e9veloppement dramaturgique national situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al.
