Playwrights\u2019 Workshop Montr\u00e9al is excited to announce a new program for practicing playwrights led by PWM dramaturg Aki Matsushita: the Cross Cultural Adaptation Lab<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Aki  is a biracial, Japanese-Canadian (nisei, second generation) dramaturg and arts educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She  is fascinated by intercultural performance, as it fosters an exchange and seeks out connection between seemingly disparate entities, looking at the world through the lens of wanting to understand each other\u2019s humanity across geographic, cultural, linguistic, temporal and cultural boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intention of this lab is to form a working group of four playwrights residing in Montreal, to  create cross-cultural adaptations of published plays (from the public domain) into their own specific cultural context* in English. Exploring different approaches to adapting cross-culturally, the writers will develop their plays through a combination of group discussions, in which work and feedback are shared, as well as one-on-one dramaturgy, and exploratory workshops as the work evolves over an extended period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*For example, your cultural context may refer to ethnicity, ability, gender but is not limited to these examples.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are seeking play into play adaptation proposals from playwrights with projects that are in the germination stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selected participants are supported with an honorarium of $1200. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lab is created with the support of Centaur Theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PWM is committed to creating an environment where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.  We are continuously working to make all of our programs accessible and inclusive. While recognizing that the identity of each person is fundamentally plural, and multidimensional, we strongly encourage applications from artists who are: Indigenous (First Nations, M\u00e9tis, 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
